§ 30. Mr. McWalterTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to upgrade the M10 to provide a full motorway link to the A1(M). [81352]
§ Mr. JamiesonThe M10 motorway falls within the study area of the London to South Midlands Multi-Modal Study. This study is currently under way and is looking at long-term solutions to meet the passenger and freight transport needs within the area, including the existing difficulty of east-west travel. It is expected the study will report to regional planning bodies at the turn of this year. I would not want to prejudge the study recommendations at this stage.
