§ 59. Mr. Albert Robertsasked the Minister of Transport, in view of the heavy volume of traffic using the A642 through Oulton and Woodlesford-Leeds, if he will expedite the inquiry concerning the east of Leeds M1 to A1 by accepting only written objections.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI released a statement on 2 January about the cancellation of this inquiry, an advance copy of which was sent to the hon. Gentleman on 31 December. At the future inquiry into the east of Leeds M1-A1 route, objectors and others will have the usual right to appear at the inquiry and I would not consider seeking to exclude them.
