HC Deb 26 July 1983 vol 46 c396W
Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will now release all the information on traffic matters that his representative was instructed to do at the adjournment of the Archway road inquiry in 1977.

Mrs. Chalker

The inspector adjourned the inquiry to enable the Department to meet his request for new traffic figures based on the latest traffic surveys and techniques. That information was made public in November 1981 in appendices A and B of the report of the joint DTp/GLC working party on Archway road.

Since then further traffic studies have been completed and these will be placed on deposit early next month.

Sir Hugh Rossi

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he is yet in a position to announce the arrangements for the holding of the inquiry into the Archway road proposals.

Mrs. Chalker

Yes. The inquiry will be held at the Methodist central hall, Archway, starting at 10.30 am on 10 January 1984 and will be conducted by Air Marshal Sir Michael Giddings, KCB, OBE, DFC, AFC.

There will be a pre-inquiry meeting at the same venue at 10 am on 13 September 1983.

The public notice announcing the arrangements for the inquiry will be appearing in the London Gazette and the local press during the next few days.
