HC Deb 20 July 1978 vol 954 c353W
Mr. Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will announce a date for the holding of a public inquiry into the Castle Donington section of the M42 motorway.

Mr. Horam

My right hon. Friend hopes to announce his preferred route early next year. This will be followed in due course by publication of the statutory proposals, after which it will be possible to decide the date of any public inquiry which may be necessary.
