HC Deb 18 October 1976 vol 917 cc340-1W
Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if any High Court action has been taken with regard to proposals relating to the A41(M) in south-west Hertfordshire; and what is the current situation relating to any proceedings, orders, or injunctions.

Mr. Horam

The council of the former Watford Rural District, now part of Three Rivers District, made an application to the High Court under Paragraph 2 of the Second Schedule to the Highways Act 1959 for the quashing of the scheme relating to the Kings Langley bypass section of the A41(M). Further action on the application rests with the district council.

Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the suggested abandonment of part of the A41(M) Kings Langley bypass to the south of the proposed M25.

Mr. Horam

It is the Department's intention to withdraw its proposals for the A41(M) south of the M25 when the line of the M25 and the siting of interchanges have been established.
