HC Deb 16 May 1989 vol 153 cc113-4W
Mr. Beith

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects improvements to be carried out to the A1 between Bellshill and Mousen, Northumberland.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

At present it seems unlikely that work on any improvement of this section of the A1 will start before 1992–93. The flow is low and the cost is high.
