Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Transport what is her timetable for carrying forward her proposals for the London—Cambridge motorway, M11, and for further discussions with the local authorities and others affected.

A draft scheme has been published and is open to representations from local authorities and others affected. There will be separate consultations on the route south of Chigwell and on side road proposals.

The timeable will depend upon the progress made with the statutory processes.
