§ Mr. Watkinsonasked the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if there is any overtime work being done on the westbound sections of the M4 between junctions 17 and 18;
(2) how long he expects the repairing of the M4 between junctions 17 and 18 on the westbound carriageway to take;
(3) what is the cause of roadworks repairs presently being undertaken on the M4 between junctions 17 and 18 on the westbound carriageway.
§ Mr. HoramNo overtime has been worked so far. Work on the westbound carriageway is programmed to be completed by 4th March 1977. This will be followed by repairs to the eastbound carriageway which should be completed by 31st March 1977. The roadworks on M4 between junctions 17 and 18 were necessary because of sudden deterioration following the recent heavy rain.
