§ Mr. HoramA public inquiry into proposals for the section of the M25 in the hon. and learned Member's constituency has been programmed for the spring of 1979. Subject to the satisfactory completion of the statutory procedures and the availability of funds at the time, I expect construction of the whole section of the M25 between the M4 and Maple Cross to start in late 1981 and to be completed in late 1983.
