HC Deb 21 May 1974 vol 874 c129W
Mir. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take action to speed up his decision to define the route of the A46 through Newark in view of the delay likely to be caused to the local authorities and others with regard to town planning proposals which will be delayed until his decision is known.

Mr. Carmichael

Alternative routes for a proposed relief road for Newark will be made available for public comment at an exhibition to be held in Newark this summer.

Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what decision he has arrived at with regard to the proposal to lift the statutory speed restrictions on the A46 in the Newark area.

Mr. Carmichael

None yet. In reaching a decision my right hon. Friend will take full account of my hon. Friend's representations.
