HC Deb 08 March 1967 vol 742 cc274-5W
108. Mr. Judd

asked the Minister of Transport what is the latest estimate of the total cost of repairs to the M1 motorway necessitated by economies in its original construction.

Mr. Swingler

The latest estimated cost of improvement and reconstruction work on the original length of M1 and its spur roads is £6.8 million. The improvement is designed to bring the motorway up to the higher, and more costly, standards of construction which experience has shown to be necessary.
