§ Mr. Sydney Irvingasked the Minister of Transport what plans he has for the improvement of the A.20 between Birchwood and West Kingsdown.
§ Mr. MarplesI am planning a two-mile dual carriageway by-pass of Swanley which will be constructed as soon as the preparatory work is completed and funds permit. We hope to provide dual carriageways on the rest of this section of A.20 in due course, but higher priority is now being given to the improvement of A.2.
