§ Mr. John Pageasked the Minister of Transport if she is aware that the London Road Traffic Survey, Volume II, states the need for the D Ring Road in North-West London, and that the traffic forecast for the section between the M1 at Bushey and the M4 is the heaviest of all sections; and, in view of the hold up of improvements to the A312–4090 road, whether she will give an assurance that 332W the report of her consultants, Messrs. Brandt and O'Dells, will be accepted or a final alternative announced within six months.
