HC Deb 21 November 1962 vol 667 c1209
42. Sir Richard Pilkington

asked the Minister of Transport what improvements are to be made between London and the Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch conurbation on the A.30, A.33, and A.31 roads, particularly between Ringwood and Ferndown.

Mr. Marples

In the longer term, the answer will lie in the London to Basingstoke motorway, with dual carriageways onwards from Basingstoke.

The route of the motorway is now being surveyed. Meanwhile many improvements are being made or planned on A.30, A.33 and A.31. The construction of dual carriageways between Ringwood and Ferndown has already begun.
