HC Deb 16 June 1965 vol 714 cc72-3W
Sir R. Thompson

asked the Minister of Transport if he has now settled the line of the London-Crawley motorway as it affects the site of the former Croydon Airport; and when construction work will begin.

Mr. Tom Fraser

I cannot settle the line until I have published a draft Scheme and considered objections. I hope that the draft Scheme will be published before the end of the year and that it may be possible to begin construction by 1969–70.
