HC Deb 13 July 1984 vol 63 c685W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will ensure that the specification for additional noise suppression measures on the Chertsey/Wisley section of the M25 will not be finalised until his Department has had an opportunity to discuss with Woking borough council the recommendations of the study by consultants from Southampton university which the council has commissioned.

Mrs. Chalker

I am content to await the Southampton university report before deciding what additional noise suppression measures should be taken on this section of the M25.

Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he now expects that work will begin on the tree-planting scheme along the Chertsey/Wisley section of the M25.

Mrs. Chalker

As I said in answer to my hon. Friend on 19 January, at column290, planting has been arranged for the 1984–85 planting season. The preparation work is likely to start in about November-December this year.
