§ 32. Mr. Michael Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received regarding the motorway and road network links with small and medium ports; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerI receive representations from time to time about road links to particular ports. Most ports have adequate road access. Where a better road is needed, improvements are in preparation or under consideration by ourselves or the local highway authority, as appropriate. any decision to provide a motorway-standard improvement would depend on several factors including the general quality of the existing routes.
