§ Mr. Loveridgeasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will ensure that any public inquiry held into the proposed compulsory purchase orders for the A13—A12 section of the M25 be held in Upminster or the Upminster area because that is the most convenient location for local residents affected by the proposals to attend.
§ Mr. HoramThe convenience of local residents will certainly be borne in mind in choosing a venue if an inquiry is necessary; but we cannot, at this stage, give any undertakings, as a number of factors have to be considered.
