HC Deb 18 February 1971 vol 811 c566W
Sir R. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what traffic capacities have been provided for in the design of the link between the M23 and Croydon flyover.

Mr. Graham Page

I hope later this year to publish my draft proposals for the M23 link to the A232. The A232 route is the responsibility of the Greater London Council.

Sir R. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects agreement will be reached with the Greater London Council on a suitable scheme for the improvement of the link between the M23 and the Croydon flyover; and if he will give an assurance that financial provision will be made available to enable this link to be constructed by the date of completion of the M23 and its intersection with the A232.

Mr. Graham Page

I expect to receive the Greater London Council's proposals for improvement to the A232 later this year. My present intention is that financial resources should be available to enable the work to be completed by the time the intersection of M23 and A232 is opened.
