HC Deb 26 June 1967 vol 749 cc22-3W
71. Mr. Berry

asked the Minister of Transport what plans she has to link Heathrow Airport with the M1.

Mr. Swingler

Heathrow is already linked to M1 by M4, the North Circular Road and A41. In due course the D Ring will provide an improved link between the airport and M1.

72. Mr. Berry

asked the Minister of Transport what links are planned by road, rail or other means between Stansted Airport and Heathrow Airport, and between Stansted Airport and Gatwick Airport, respectively.

Mr. Swingler

Road links between the airports will be improved under general plans for the London area. Stansted will be linked to Heathrow initially by M11, an improved North Circular Road and M4. Later, the D Ring will provide a still better link between M 11 and M4. Stansted and Gatwick will be linked by M11, one of the projected ring roads and M23. Rail links via Victoria can, if necessary, be provided.
