HC Deb 12 April 1961 vol 638 c21W
6. Sir A. Hurd

asked the Minister of Transport if he can now confirm the line through Berkshire and Wiltshire proposed for the South Wales Motorway; and if the maps showing this motorway which have been available to the public at local authority offices for some time past are accurate and up to date.

Mr. Marples

Consulting engineers have now been appointed to complete the survey of possible routes between Maidenhead and the Chippenham area. Until their survey is completed, and this will take some time, I cannot say whether or not the route finally recommended will be that shown in the Berkshire and Wiltshire development plans.
