§ 17. Mr. Chapmanasked the Secretary of State for Transport what recent representations he has received concerning his proposal to trunk an additional 70 miles of roads in Greater London: and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RidleyI have had three letters about the south circular road, three about other London roads and coupons and letters from 245 Chelsea people misled by a local scare campaign. As I have made clear, propaganda about trunking meaning urban motorways and six-lane highways is complete nonsense and I advise Londoners to pay no attention to it. I would also advise the new organisation I see advertising a £9,500 job to campaign against urban motorways in London to save its money, since none is intended.
