HC Deb 28 February 1975 vol 887 c267W
Mr. Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what the total motorway mileage in the United Kingdom is; and how this compares with West Germany, Italy, Holland and France, respectively.

Mr. Carmichael

At the end of 1974 a total of approximately 1,320 miles of motorway had been completed in the United Kingdom.

Up-to-date figures for West Germany, Italy, Holland and France are not readily available and differences in national standards would make them not directly comparable but I will write to the hon. Member.
