HC Deb 09 June 1980 vol 986 c48W
Mr. Farr

asked the Minister of Transport if he will revise plans contained in the White Paper, Cmnd. 7908, entitled "Policy for Roads : England 1980" which provide for the construction of the A6 bypass for Market Harborough from 1984 onwards and include this urgently needed scheme in the 1982 programme.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No. This would be quite unrealistic, as preparation work and statutory procedures could not be completed in time. The Market Harborough bypass has been given greater priority than it had as a result of the review of the trunk road programme which preceded the White Paper.
