§ 76. Dame Patricia Hornsby-Smithasked tie Minister of Transport why he has not yet confirmed the Order for the South Orbital Road, Dartford diversion to Swanley; if he is aware that the Draft Order was published in September, 1963, the period for objections expired on 27th December, 1963, and that the local authority had dealt with objections received by March, 1964; and, in view of the necessity for this east—west link, if he will expedite the completion of the necessary Order.
§ Mr. Tom FraserThe Order under Section 7 of the Highways Act, 1959, has not been made because the design of the junction with the Swanley By-pass is still under consideration and may require a slight modification to the published line of the road. This should not affect the starting date.
