HC Deb 10 April 1978 vol 947 c294W
37. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether the procedure outlined in "Policy for Roads, England 1978" will enable early decisions to be taken in respect of schemes about which uncertainty has existed for long periods of time, such as the completion of the M3 motorway in the Winchester area.

Mr. Horam

Our intention is that the new policies set out in the White Papers published last week will help speed up road planning and lead to earlier decisions. We have not yet received the inspector's report on the M3 inquiry.
