§ Mr. Tom FraserApproximately 45,000 vehicles per day between the elevated section and the London Airport Spur, including about 20,000 travelling to and from the airport. Over a full year it is estimated that about 30 per cent. of this total will travel during the hours of darkness.
§ 73. Mr. Boxasked the Minister of Transport when he expects the M.4 to be completed; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Tom FraserBy the early 1970's. Westwards from Tormarton in Gloucestershire the motorway will be completed within a year or two. The statutory processes still have to be gone through for the sections east of Tormarton to the Maidenhead By-Pass, and it is too early to forecast completion dates.
