HC Deb 10 February 1969 vol 777 c224W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Minister of Transport what studies are currently in progress on road communications across the Pennines between Sheffield and Lancashire.

Mr. Marsh

Project feasibility studies are being carried out in the south Pen-nines Peak area to determine the relief that should be given to roads passing through the National Park area. One study is examining the need to construct a high standard road between Sheffield and Manchester. Final reports on the Studies are expected at the end of this year.
