HC Deb 13 February 1989 vol 147 cc101-2W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to develop a primary road network in Nottinghamshire suitable for the advent of the Channel tunnel and the European single market.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The primary road network in the county has been agreed between the Department and the county council. Nottinghamshire is well served by trunk roads such as MI and Al. There is already a full programme of national and regional trunk road schemes in the county.

Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when the stretch of the M I which runs through Nottingham, North constituency was last repaired; and when it is next due for repair.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Major repairs to the MI motorway between the Trowell service area and junction 26 at Nuthall were carried out in 1985. Further major repairs are unlikely to be required before the year 2000. If the hon. Member believes that we have missed a stretch, perhaps he would let me know.
