§ Mr. Berryasked the Minister of Transport when the second ring road incorporating a greatly improved North Circular Road linking up with a new South Circular Road will be completed.
§ Mr. SwinglerI cannot give a date. Considerable improvements have been made in recent years to the North Circular Road, and further schemes are programmed. The Greater London Council is considering the need for a new southern route to link with the North Circular Road. But priorities for further improvement and construction schemes on this ring route will have to be decided in relation to competing claims of schemes on other strategic routes in London.
