Mr. Peter Rees asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the mounting pressure on the port and town of Dover due to increasing traffic to and from the port, he is now in a position to announce proposals for improving the road connections between the port and the A2.
§ Mr. Michael HeseltineMy right hon. Friend has today included a scheme for an eastern by-pass of Dover from Lydden to the eastern docks in the preparation pool in substitution for the 163W Lydden-Dover (Temple Ewell) improvement announced in June, 1969. It is hoped to publish draft line and side road orders by May.
