§ Mr. John Grantasked the Secretary of State for Transport if it is Government policy to have a road of motorway standard between London and Scotland; and, if so, at what point in central London such a road is intended to stop.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThere is already a high standard route between London and Scotland made up of the M1, M6 and A74. Its terminal point in London as a motorway is at the North Circular road.
Completion of the M40 between Oxford and Birmingham and the Department's programmed improvements to the A40 in Greater London will also provide a very high standard route right into Marylebone.
