§ Mr. Atkins[holding answer 8 December 1989]: The Greater Manchester western and northern relief road is being dealt with in three sections. We have announced a proposed route for the southern section between the M6 and the M56. I shall arrange for a copy of the plan to be placed on deposit in the Library. Consultants are currently investigating solutions for the northern section of the road between the M62 and M66 motorways and we have recently appointed consultants for the centre section between the M56 and M62.
