HC Deb 16 January 1989 vol 145 c82W
13. Mr. Illsley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to improve traffic flow on the M1 motorway.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We are planning improvements to junction 1, a climbing lane at junction 9 and widening between junctions 23a and 24.

Opening the M40 extension from Oxford to Birmingham will relieve the M1.
