HC Deb 14 July 1987 vol 119 c417W
Mr. Fatchett

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment his Department has made on the prospects for the economic development of south-east Leeds in its deliberations on the proposed M1-A1 link.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Consulting engineers are carrying out the east of Leeds study. They must be satisfied that traffic forecasts take account of the prospects for economic development.

Mr. Fatchett

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to publish his Department's report on the study of traffic in east Leeds; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We hope to make an announcement during the autumn. This should end the present uncertainty.
