HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 cc386-7W
Mr. Gurden

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the dates on which planning was completed and on which contracts were placed for all motorway junctions and approach motorways in Birmingham in the last 10 years.

Mr. Graham Page

There was no delay between the completion of planning and invitation of tenders for these schemes. The information is therefore as follows:

Motorway Junction Tenders Invited Contract Let
M6/A34 January 1968 May 1968
M6/A38 March 1968 August 1968
M6/A452 October 1968 April 1969

Design work on the Aston Expressway was completed in March, 1968, and contracts let in July and November, 1968, respectively.
