§ Mr. Joplingasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware, that following his undertaking that he would consider an official name for the M6 motorway section which passes through Westmorland, if a proposal were to emerge locally, he will approve the name, the Westmorland Highway, which has been agreed to at a local meeting, details of which have been sent to him.
Mr. Bob BrownI am sorry that we do not find this acceptable, as it would be confusing to long-distance travellers if we were to name sections of a motorway according to the individual counties through which it passes.
