HC Deb 12 May 1969 vol 783 c160W
59. Mr. Mapp

asked the Minister of Transport why no provision has been made for a strategic road connecting the proposed Lancashire/Yorkshire motorway with the industrial areas east and southeast of Manchester and from the Stockport area to Derby.

Mr. Marsh

The proposals made in my Green Paper on Highway Strategy represent, at this stage, a broad strategic plan on which I have invited public comment. Before the final network is announced I will carefully consider all suggestions including those made by my hon. Friend.
