HC Deb 18 June 1984 vol 62 c15W
Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what consultations he has had with the Kent county council concerning the proposed grade separated junction at Barham crossroads on the A2; and if he will satisfy himself that the delay in starting this work is not due to any negligence in his Department.

Mrs. Chalker

Kent county council has been consulted about the draft proposals for this scheme. The delay in publishing draft orders is due to the need to ensure that the proposals are still value for money. It would have been negligent not to do so.
