§ Sir Hugh Rossiasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he is yet in a position to announce the date for the new inquiry for Archway road; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RidleyI announced yesterday the commissioning of an assessment study of the problems and possible options for the traffic corridor in east London between the Al and the A102. This will include a review of the areas162W around both Holloway road and Archway road. In view of this I am notifying all those concerned that there will be no new inquiry into the present draft orders, which are being withdrawn. I propose to pursue the revocation of the 1975-made orders. When I have the results of the assessment study I shall be able to consider what the next steps for Archway road should be.
