HC Deb 27 June 1979 vol 969 cc216-7W
53. Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Minister of Transport when he expects a decision to be made on the inquiry into the line of the M25—Swanley to Sevenoaks—motorway.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Until the inspector's report is received we cannot judge how long it will take my right hon. Friends the Secretary of State for the Environment and the Minister of Transport to consider all the objections and representations together with the report and reach a decision. I would not expect a decision to be made this year.
