§ 114. Sir D. Walker-Smithasked the Minister of Transport what consideration she has given to the representations of the Bishop's Stortford Urban District Council in regard to the M11; when it is proposed to start work on this motorway; and whether such work will start at the northern end, in order to provide by-pass facilities for Bishop's Stortford at the earliest possible date.
§ Mr. SwinglerMy right hon. Friend hopes to publish this year a draft scheme for the M11 which takes account of the representations of the Bishop's Stortford Urban District Council that the motorway should be extended northwards to Stump Cross. The start of work and the construction programme will depend on the progress made with the statutory processes, including acquisition of land.
