HC Deb 16 February 1972 vol 831 c93W
44. Mr. John Hannam

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the proposals for the further extension of the M5 motorway between Poltimore and Peasmore will be announced, and also the link roads between the Exeter city centre and the motorway.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

In the light of objections, further study is being given to the proposals for the M5 which were published in September, 1970, and to the question of the link roads. My right hon. Friend hopes to announce his conclusions shortly.
