§ 61. Mr. Ridleyasked the Minister of Transport what valid objections have been received to the draft order for the M.5 motorway; and when he will publish the draft Section 13 order for this road.
§ Mr. MarplesI have received 28 objections so far, mostly from farming interests. The statutory objection period expires at the end of this month. I cannot make the scheme fixing the line of the road until I have considered all the objections which may be received. Preparatory surveys for the Section 13 side roads order depend on that line and I cannot therefore say when it will be published. I will make sure there is no unnecessary delay.
