§ Mr. McGuireasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many miles of motorway need to be completed to link the M6 to the Ml; and when he expects them to be completed.
§ Mr. Graham PageNineteen miles. The 12-mile section between Ansty and the M1 motorway will be opened on 15th November. Completion of the seven-mile section between Great Barr and Castle Bromwich, planned for the end of this year, has been delayed by the need for appraisals and safety checks on steel box girder bridges, and I cannot at present give a date for its opening.
