§ Dr. Hampsonasked the Secretary of State for Transport when he now expects to make a decision on the route of the Kirkhamgate-Dishforth motorway; and what are the reasons for the delay in reaching a decision on the inspector's report.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe public inquiry into the proposals lasted for over a year and it has taken us longer than expected to give full consideration to all the points in the inspector's long and detailed report. However, I expect to announce a decision in the autumn.
