§ 102. Mr. Nigel Daviesasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that concern is being caused by his failure to reach a decision between alternative routings of the Lea Valley—Norwich Road in the parishes of Nazeing, Waltham Abbey and Roydon; that the development of land in the area is thereby being prevented, both for housing and agricultural purposes; and whether he will come to an immediate decision on the matter.
§ Mr. BarnesI am not aware that development has been seriously interfered with or delayed during the investigations which have been necessary before deciding whether to alter the proposed line of this road. Agricultural and planning interests have been closely considered, and I hope very shortly to reach agreement on a new proposed line with the Departments concerned.
