HC Deb 01 August 1972 vol 842 c107W
Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will extend the trunk road system to provide improved access to the port of Kingston upon Hull.

Mr. Speed

My right hon. Friend has agreed that the new South Docks Road in the East Riding of Yorkshire and the county borough of Kingston upon Hull shall have trunk road status, and that schemes for this new road should be included in the trunk road preparation pool.

The decision also means that the principal road schemes "South Docks Road Extension" and "Market Place to Hedon Road" already announced will now be carried out as trunk road projects.
