§ Mr. HillTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the current approximate date for the completion of the entire M3 motorway; and if he will take steps to prevent any further delays.
§ Mr. ChopeThe section of M3 at present under construction between Compton and Bassett is expected to be completed in autumn next year. Subject to completion of the remaining statutory procedures we will start work on the final section at Winchester as soon as possible which unfortunately cannot now be until 1992.
