§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for Transport if, in view of the likely completion of stage 1 of the 226W Leicester southern district distributor road by the end of 1983, and the consequent likely congestion which will occur by heavy lorries passing through Wigston town centre, he will now authorise the go-ahead for stage 2, for a start in the autumn of 1984, through the Leicestershire county council transport policies and programme.
§ Mrs. ChalkerI am not yet able to give my hon. Friend any additional information about stage 2 of this route at present, but, as indicated in my 12 September letter, I shall do so as soon as I can.
