HC Deb 11 April 1973 vol 854 cc283-4W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects that M11 contracts numbers 1, 2 and 4, respectively, will be let.

Mr. Speed

The section of contract 4 between Bishop's Stortford and Quendon should be let later this year. The re- mainder of that contract must await determination of the route of the proposed Cambridge western bypass. The letting of contracts 1 and 2 is related to the report of the Layfield Panel on the Greater London Development Plan which is now being considered.
