London and Gatwick Airports

HC Deb 22 April 1964 vol 693 cc187-8W

Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Transport what plans he has for improving road communications between London Airport and Gatwick Airport.

Mr. Marples

Communications will be progressively improved by the comple- tion of M.4 and later by the construction of the London-Crawley Motorway together with other smaller schemes. In the long term the South Orbital Road in association with the London-Crawley Motorway should provide a more direct route between the two airports.
