§ Mr. Thurnhamasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he is satisfied with the present state of the trunk road network in Greater Manchester; and if he will list the schemes in the county on which he expects starts to be made within the next three years.
§ Mrs. ChalkerI am not satisfied. We are taking action to improve it by completing the Manchester outer ring road and the related A6(M) Stockport north/south bypass, and by widening Barton bridge and the rest of the two-lane section of M63 on the western side of the ring.
