§ 58. Mr. Roy Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied with the progress being made in providing new road links between South Wales and the South-East of England; what stage has the development reached; when he anticipates it will be finally completed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Graham PageA major new road link will be provided by the completion of M4 London-South Wales Motorway. A 10 miles section was opened ahead of schedule last week and about 68 miles remain to be completed in England. It may be possible to open a further length in the autumn and the whole motorway by the end of the year, but as I said to the hon. Member for Newport (Mr. Roy Hughes) on 17th March, precise dates of completion have still to be determined.—[Vol. 813, c.343.]
