HC Deb 15 July 1974 vol 877 c42W
Mr. Stanley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the estimated date by which the M20 Ditton bypass will reach saturation level, assuming the Channel Tunnel is opened, referred to in column 561 of the OFFICIAL REPORT of 28th June 1974.

Mr. Carmichael

If the M20 is completed in accordance with the Department's published proposals and assuming the Channel Tunnel is built the level of traffic on the M20 Ditton bypass is expected to reach design capacity by the late 1980s.
