§ Mr. RookerTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement outlining reasons for the delay in repairs to the Gravelly hill interchange of the M6 motorway following the accident of 26 August.
§ Mr. ChopeThe accident resulted in severe structural damage requiring the closure of two slip roads.
An urgent investigation began into the effects of the fire damage and possible remedial works including the possibility of demolishing and reconstructing the existing structure.
There are a number of technical matters still to be resolved, but 1 hope that work on a replacement structure will commence before the end of the year.
