HC Deb 20 February 1980 vol 979 c217W
60. Mr. Lamborn

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement on the delays to the A12-A13 section of the M25.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The section between North Ockendon and A13 is under construction. The orders for the section from A12 to North Ockendon have been made, but the compulsory purchase orders for the acquisition of the necessary land have been challenged in the High Court. Progress depends upon the outcome of this challenge.
