§ Mr. Woodallasked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking towards upgrading the A1(M) between Aberford and Wetherby.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe published proposals for the Kirkhamgate-Dishforth scheme include improvement of the A1 from its junction with the A64 northwards to a new bypass of Wetherby. My right hon.
