HC Deb 15 April 1985 vol 77 c58W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what factors were considered in his decision not to make the extra 65 miles of London roads, proposed to be trunked, the responsibility of the appropriate borough councils as with designated roads.

Mrs. Chalker

[pursuant to the reply, 4 April 1985; c. 740]: As key routes serving an area wide purpose, it is appropriate that these should be the Secretary of State's responsibility.
