§ Sir W. Robson Brownasked the Minister of Transport if he will now make a statement about the Esher by-pass, as the prolonged period of uncertainty is causing local anxiety.
§ Mr. Tom FraserAs the hon. Member knows, plans are being prepared for a by-pass to the south and east of Esher.
I appreciate the need to avoid unnecessary anxiety, and that is why I must be sure that the detailed proposals represent the best overall solution before they are put to the test of public scrutiny. I hope to be able to publish a draft line for the road by the autumn.
