ANup-to-the-minute report on the London-Yorkshire motorway by Mr. John Hay gave little satisfaction to M.P.s.
People nowadays were beginning to ask whether lie was dealing with the Ml road or with the " long, long trail," commented Sir Barnett Janner (Lab., Leicester North West), while Mr. George Darling (Lab., Hillsborough) asked in vain when Mr. Hay hoped the road would reach Yorkshire.
"We have continued to make good progress with the statutory processes and the engineering preparation of this motorway," explained Mr. Hay. "If all goes well, we hope to let contracts for the first sections in Northamptonshire and Leicestershire this summer."
