HC Deb 28 February 1989 vol 148 c116W
Sir John Farr

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will designate the A427 in Leicestershire a trunk road.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

No. The proposed M1-A1 Link, a new trunk road, will serve the movement of longer distance traffic in that area. Work on that scheme is expected to start later this year.
