IMPROVEMENTS TO THE A1 CARRIAGEWAY

Early day motion 384, tabled 21 October 2014 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 20 members.

That this House recognises the tireless work over many years of the right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed to bring much needed improvements to the A1; notes the Government's decision last year to undertake a feasibility study into considering improvements to the carriageway north of Newcastle; further notes the economic and safety benefits that this would bring; and calls on the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, as the Minister responsible for infrastructure spending, to include funding for the dualling of the A1 in the forthcoming Autumn Statement.
