§ Mr. CummingsTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to improve the A19 from Dishforth to the Tyne tunnel.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyWe are well advanced with our plans to provide dual carriageways on the remaining two-mile section of this A19-A168 route where such a standard of road has not already been provided. Constructional work on this scheme, which includes the improvement of the junction with the Al at Dishforth, is planned to start in 1988.
