HC Deb 10 February 1971 vol 811 cc169-70W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations have been made to him by local authorities regarding the proposed routing of the A46 through Newark; and how soon a decision may be expected.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

No formal representations have been made, but the views of the local authorities and other interested organisations have been incorporated in a Feasibility Study to determine a preferred line of A46 at Newark. This has been undertaken on my behalf by Nottinghamshire County Council, and my Department is now considering its findings. I hope to make a further announcement in the next few months.
