HC Deb 18 January 1978 vol 942 c242W
Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if, in the light of the recently improved capacity of the existing North Orbital Road, he will now review on traffic grounds the need for a new section of motorway between Hun-ton Bridge and the M1 motorway; and if he will give an assurance that this section of proposed new motorway will not now proceed as programmed.

Mr. Horam

As the hon. Member is aware, the traffic information relating to the section of the M25 between Micklefield Green and South Mimms will be reappraised to have regard to improvements to the A.41/A.405 in north-west Watford, and I have stated that construction of this section of the M25 will not commence until this reappraisal is completed and taken into account.
