§ Mr. William Sheltonasked the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to receive the report of the committee currently considering motorways in London; whether he has any further proposals concerning the extension northwards of the M23, in the light of the fact that areas in Streatham are still blighted by this proposed extension.
§ Mr. HoramI understand that the joint study, being undertaken by the Greater London council, Surrey county council and the Departments of the Environment and of Transport into the problems associated with the present termination of the M23 motorway, is well advanced. All concerned in this joint study want people to know as quickly as possible where they stand. I expect to receive a report in the near future and I shall make an announcement as soon as I can.
