HC Deb 14 December 1977 vol 941 c272W
43. Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he expects to announce the preferred route of the M1-M40 link road before 1st January 1978; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Horam

My right hon. Friend expects to announce his conclusions on the feasibility study of road communications between Swindon, Oxford and the M1 shortly, but there would still need to be public consultation before there was any question of selecting preferred routes for any improvement schemes he may decide on.
