§ Mr. John Wellsasked the Minister of Transport if he will publish definite proposals for the A20(M) or the M20 route eastwards from Maidstone towards the channel tunnel, in view of the fact that lack of clear information is causing difficulty to land agents and other professional men in advising about property development and management.
Mr. Bob BrownA scheme providing for the improvement or relief of the A20 route eastwards from Maidstone to meet the requirements of the Channel Tunnel project is already in the trunk road preparation pool, and investigations into possible lines are being carried out at the present time. The eastern section of the scheme will be affected by the location of Channel Tunnel terminal facilities.
98WPublication of proposals under the statutory procedure laid down in the Highways Act, 1959, will be arranged as soon as these investigations have been carried out.
