HC Deb 31 January 1973 vol 849 c390W
Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) how many miles of urban motorway are in use in the United Kingdom; and how many miles of these were completed last year;

(2) how many miles of urban motorway are expected to be completed in 1973, 1974 and 1975, and where these are situated.

Mr. Peyton

I regret that this information is not available since most motorways pass for part of their length through areas of urban development and mileage figures do not differentiate between motorways in urban and rural areas.

Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment by what date there will be a direct motorway link between Folkestone and Birmingham.

Mr. Speed

1980.
