HC Deb 14 July 1982 vol 27 cc416-7W
Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has yet appointed the consulting engineers for the A6 bypass round Quorn and Mountsorrel, Leicestershire; if not, when he intends to do so; and what date he intends to set for receiving their report.

Mrs. Chalker

We expect to appoint consulting engineers very soon. They will be required to submit their preliminary report by the end of 1984.

Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he proposes to lay orders to revoke the existing bypass line for the A6 round Mountsorrel, Leicestershire; and whether he will expedite action in this matter so as to reduce planning blight and to permit industrial planning applications to receive proper consideration.

Mrs. Chalker

We expect to publish a draft order to revoke the existing line for a bypass of Mountsorrel in October. How quickly we can then proceed will depend on whether or not there are objections to the draft order.
