HC Deb 14 January 1977 vol 923 c619W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he now expects work to be completed on each of the outstanding sections of the M25 motorway in Surrey.

Mr. Horam

I have nothing to add to the answer given to the hon. Member for Southend, East (Sir S. McAdden) on 11th January.— [Vol. 923, c. 439.]

Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if there is to be a six-month moratorium on new road building affecting the A13 to A12 section of the M25;

(2) if he will now state the date on which it is expected the construction of the A13 to A12 section of the M25 will commence.

Mr. Horam

The detailed implications for the road programme of the recent cuts in public expenditure and of the consequent moratorium on the letting of new trunk road contracts are still being examined, but my right hon. Friend intends to give high priority to construction of the M25 London outer orbital route.
