Oral Answers to Questions — Roads – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 3 June 1959.

Is my hon. Friend aware of the urgent need to extend the dual carriageway from Marks Tey to the Colchester by-pass? Can he say when the work is contemplated, and whether it is included in the £3 million scheme prepared by the Ministry, to be undertaken in the next two years?
