§ 19. Mr. Ridleyasked the Minister of Transport on what date he hopes to publish the draft scheme to establish the line of the M.5 motorway southwards from Twyning.
§ Mr. MarplesI hope to publish a draft scheme for the length of M.5 from Twyning to Almondsbury at the end of August.
§ Mr. RidleyI am grateful to my right hon. Friend for that information. Is he aware of the immense urgency for this motorway? Further, will he give an undertaking that he will get his office to expedite all the statutory processes for the construction of this motorway because of its extreme urgency now?
§ Mr. MarplesI am aware of the urgency, and within the limits laid down by Parliament I shall move as fast as I can.
