HC Deb 20 December 1968 vol 775 cc529-30W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Minister of Transport why, prior to the publication on 4th December of his proposals for the Redbridge-Stump Cross section of the M11 motorway, he failed to consult the relevant local authorities on the part of the route south of the proposed interchange with the A406 at South Woodford, linking the motorway with the A12 at Redbridge.

Mr. Marsh

The relevant authorities immediately affected by the route now proposed for the M11 and its link roads, including the Greater London Council and the London Borough of Redbridge, were consulted before publication. Other authorities likely to be affected by proposals for extending M11 southward will be consulted before any further order is published.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Minister of Transport when he expects to receive the Report of the consultants whom he has appointed to prepare and submit proposals for the route linking the southern section of the M11 motorway at the Mill Roundabout, South Woodford, with its final terminal point near Hackney Wick.

Mr. Marsh

I expect to receive by mid-1969 the consultants' report on proposals for extending the published route of M11 southwards to a terminal point near Hackney Wick.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Minister of Transport when he expects to publish proposals for the route linking the southern section of the M1l motorway between the Mill Roundabout, South Woodford, with its final terminal point near Hackney Wick.

Mr. Marsh

Publication of proposals is not expected before the end of 1970.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will undertake to consult the relevant local authorities prior to the publication of his proposals for the route linking the southern section of the M11 motorway at the Mill Roundabout, South Woodford, with its final terminal point near Hackney Wick.

Mr. Marsh

Yes, in accordance with normal practice.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will give an undertaking that no final decision will be taken on the Roding Valley route for the M11 motorway as a whole until he has published proposals for, and considered objections to, the route linking the southern section at the Mill Roundabout, South Woodford, with its final terminal near Hackney Wick.

Mr. Marsh

No. The route now published is a viable scheme in its own right.
