HC Deb 12 January 1977 vol 923 c487W
37. Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if it remains his policy to provide motorway links between London and the main ports, such as Southampton; and what effect the cuts in Government expenditure will have upon this aspect of the road programme.

Mr. William Rodgers

Yes, where motorway standards are justified. The cuts may mean that we have to wait rather longer.
