HC Deb 17 February 1971 vol 811 cc454-5W
60. Mr. Albert Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent decisions have been made by or between his Department and the West Riding County Council concerning the construction of the Wetherby Spur to reduce the amount of traffic now using the A642 through Oulton and Woodlesford in the West Riding.

Mr. Graham Page

My right hon. Friend is considering the results of a study carried out by the West Riding County Council to assess the feasibility of a new or improved route to relieve the Al as an outlet to the north-east for traffic from south of Leeds. The Wetherby Spur is one possible solution that is being urgently considered.
