HC Deb 21 October 1988 vol 138 cc1035-6W
Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will announce the start date for the slip roads scheme between the M45 and the A45, together with the latest estimate of its cost.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Draft orders will be published early next year. This is later than I had hoped. We hope to start work within the following 12 months. The latest estimate of cost is £l.1m.
