HC Deb 07 June 1967 vol 747 cc201-2W
85. Mr. Tilney

asked the Minister of Transport what are her plans to link up the M1 with the M6 with a view to easing traffic between the south and the northwest; and how soon she expects the link to be completed.

Mr. Swingler

The M6 is being extended to join the M1 at Catthorpe. Two sections from Dunston to Darlaston Road, Walsall, have been completed and work has started on the next section to Ray Hall.

The target competition date for this link as a whole is 1971.
