HC Deb 05 February 1973 vol 850 c37W
Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is aware that a decision is needed as soon as possible on the line to be taken by a major dual-carriageway highway from Cambridge to Northampton; to what extent the A604 from Cambridge to Godmanchester will serve the purpose of such a highway; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

The study of a possible new route from M1 near Northampton to A1 has been accelerated and should be completed by the end of the year. Until the results are available, it is not possible to say how such a new route might affect existing routes.
