§ Mr. Jesselasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the latest actual traffic figures with comparisons of these forecast in June 1974 before the Sunbury-Lightwater section of the M3 was opened, and forecasts for one, two and five years' time, of traffic passing along the A316 (Great Chertsey Road) per peak hour, and daily—16 hours—at the Hope and Anchor Roundabout, Hanworth; and at either St. Margaret's Roundabout or Twickenham Bridge.
§ Mr. CarmichaelThe information is not available in the form asked for. I would refer the hon. Member to my answer to the hon. Member for Brentford and Isleworth (Mr. Hayhoe) on 30th July 1975 for a comparison between estimated and actual traffic flows on the Great Chertsey Road A316.—[Vol. 896, cols. 507–8.]
§ Mr. Jesselasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will estimate the increase in the number of lorries daily, expressed in absolute figures and as percentages of all vehicular traffic, which he would expect in the event of implementation of the Greater London Council's proposals to introduce lorry routes along the A316 (Great Chertsey Road) at St. Margaret's; and along the A312 (Uxbridge Road, Hampton Hill and High Street, Hampton).
§ Mr. CarmichaelBoth the A316 and A312 are roads for which the Greater London Council is the highway and traffic authority. The council is currently considering representations about lorry routes and I suggest that the hon. Member should seek its views in this matter.
