The Minister for Roads and Traffic, Mr. Robert Key, has asked me to write to you in reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the effect of M25 widening on Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).The Government's plans for widening the M25 are not currently expected to require any land from SSSI except possibly for a small area which may be needed from the Ockham and Wisley Commons SSSI which surround Junction 10.
