HC Deb 28 April 1993 vol 223 c395W
Dr. Hampson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the timetable for the completion of the A1-M1 link; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

The public inquiry into the draft orders for the M1-A1 link between the M1 south of Leeds and the A1 north-east of Garforth closed on 25 February and the indpendent inspector is now writing his report. Future progress depends on when the Secretaries of State for the Environment and for Transport receive the report and are able to issue their decision. In view of this, and the statutory framework within which these actions take place, it would be inappropriate for me now to anticipate a timetable for the completion of this scheme.
