HC Deb 05 July 1972 vol 840 c138W
87. Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in view of the fact that the decision not to complete the M2 to Dover was based on a traffic count made seven years ago, he will re-consider this decision in the light of the increase in traffic, and particularly in TIR vehicles that has taken place since then.

Mr. Speed

The flow of traffic on the route is monitored regularly and the improvements now programmed for the A2 between Brenley Corner and Dover and the proposed extension of M20 to the South Coast are designed to cater for forecast increases in traffic on the two routes over the next twenty years.
