HC Deb 07 August 1972 vol 842 c290W
Mr. Wiggin

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the M5 motorway between Avonmouth and Edithmead is on schedule; and when it will be completed.

Mr. Speed

The contracts between the Portway interchange and Edithmead are on schedule and this stretch of the M5 is due for completion by the end of the year. With regard to the Avonmouth Bridge I would refer the hon. Member to what I said in the Consolidated Fund Bill debate on 3rd August.
