HC Deb 02 November 1987 vol 121 c519W
Sir John Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he hopes to be able to announce a firm timetable in relation to the construction of the A6 bypass at Great Glen, Leicestershire.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Initial investigations are now in hand. We hope to put forward proposals for public consultation in autumn 1988 and announce a preferred route in 1989. Subject to the results of further investigations and the satisfactory completion of statutory procedures, construction could start late in 1992.
