HC Deb 13 May 1985 vol 79 cc63-4W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when the repairs to the parapet walls and rails of the midlands link motorways will be concluded; and how many claims he has received for extra time from contractors.

Mrs. Chalker

It is anticipated that it will take a further two years to complete the programme of parapet rail repairs on the midlands link motorways. Two claims for extra time have been made by the contractor working on Oldbury viaduct.

Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the reply of 28 March, Official Report column 287, if the holding down bolts of the central reservation barrier of the Oldbury viaduct on the midlands link motorway have been checked.

Mrs. Chalker

I will answer this question shortly.
