HC Deb 16 February 1966 vol 724 cc259-60W
110. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Transport if she will make a statement on the progress that has been made on the scheme for the Lancashire and Yorkshire motorway; and in what year the first 30 miles will be completed.

Mrs. Castle

The route from Worsley in Lancashire to Lofthouse in Yorkshire has been fixed. Proposals for a route from Lofthouse to the A1, south of Ferrybridge, have been published and objections are under consideration.

Until the statutory procedures, including the side road connections and land acquisition, are completed, no firm dates can be set but I expect the whole of the motorway to be constructed by the early 1970's.

Mr. Duffy

asked the Minister of Transport when a start will be made on the construction of the Lancashire-Yorkshire motorway, M.62.

Mr. Swingler

Later this year.
