HC Deb 13 March 1968 vol 760 c318W
107. Sir D. Kaberry

asked the Minister of Transport what is the total amount in value of contracts now let for the construction of the new Yorkshire-Lancashire motorway; what length of roadway this represents; how much length of roadway still remains to be let out for contract; and what is the present estimate of when the new road will be completed and available for public use.

Mr. Carmichael

Contracts have been let to the value of £18 million for 10½ miles between Worsley and Pole Moor, and are to be let for a further 43½ miles eastwards to Ferrybridge. The motorway is expected to be in use by the early 1970s.
