HC Deb 17 June 1976 vol 913 c212W
Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will announce the finishing date for the scheduled road improvements on the A47 between King's Lynn and Wisbech.

Mr. Marks

A number of schemes will be undertaken to improve this 13-mile length of road to modern single carriageway standard. The need to complete statutory procedures and the constraints on funds available for road improvements are such that completion of all the schemes cannot be achieved until sometime in the 1980s.

Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he can announce the starting date of the A47 bypass to Terrington St. John.

Mr. Marks

It will not be possible to make a start on this scheme before 1978–79.
