§ Mr. Peter Walkerasked the Minister of Transport by the end of which year in the 1970s she expects the first 1,000 miles of motorway to have been completed.
§ Mr. SwinglerWe still expect to finish 1,000 miles of motorway in England and Wales by the early 1970s. But for a project of this size and complexity, with its inherent uncertainties because of climate and of the deep impact it makes on people and property, it is impracticable at this stage to specify a precise year for completion.
