HC Deb 22 April 1991 vol 189 cc355-6W
Mr. Speed

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he now has an opening date for the M20 motorway Ashford to Hollingbourne section.

Mr. Chope

[holding answer 19 April 1991]: The M20 motorway between Maidstone and Ashford is being built under two contracts. The first is due for completion this month, but cannot be opened until the second contract is ready. The second contract is due for completion in July, but work is ahead of programme and I now hope that it will be possible for the road to be opened before July.

I shall inform my hon. Friend as soon as an opening date is fixed.
