§ Mr. Grocottasked the Secretary of State for Transport when the public inquiries will be held on the side road orders for (a) the Tamworth to King-bury section and (b) the Tamworth to Polesworth section of the M42.
§ Mr. HoramProbably early next summer, but this will depend on the nature and volume of objections to the orders in question, publication of which must await the outcome of the current review of trunk road schemes under the White Paper on Transport Policy.
§ Mr. Grocottasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will arrange for the public inquiries for (a) the Tamworth to Kingsbury section and (b) the Tamworth to Polesworth section of the M42 to be held in Tamworth.
§ Mr. HoramThis possibility will certainly be considered. The main criteria for selecting the location will be the convenience of objectors and the availability of suitable accommodation for the inquiry.
§ Mr. Grocottasked the Secretary of State for Transport when he will publish 54W the results of the inquiry on the side road orders for the Water Orton section of the M42.
§ Mr. HoramMy right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Transport and the Environment hope to make an announcement at the beginning of next year.
