HC Deb 26 February 1975 vol 887 c136W
56. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on any delays there may be to the completion of the M18 and M62 to the city of Kingston upon Hull.

Mr. Carmichael

It has been necessary to redesign the two sections of the M18 between Wadworth and Hatfield in accordance with the revised standards for new roads announced last June. Owing to delays in the supply of steel, the fuel crisis and the three-day working week in the early part of last year, the contract period for the construction of the bridge to carry the M62 over the River Ouse has been extended to April 1976.
