§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will now give the expected opening dates of the M25, Reigate to Wisley sections, and all other remaining stages of the M25; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerWe expect to have the whole of the M25 open to traffic by the end of 1986. The actual opening dates of the remaining sections will depend on the progress made by individual contractors which in turn is influenced by weather and ground conditions.
The expected opening dates for these unfinished sections are as follows:
Dates Wisley-Leatherhead August 1985 Leatherhead-Reigate August 1985 Leatherhead Interchange Partly open already but will come into full use August 1985 Poyle-M4 September 1985 M4–M40 September 1985 M4 Interchange June 1986 Swanley-Sevenoaks July 1986 Micklefield Green-Bedmond Road October 1986 Bedmond Road-A405 October 1986 A405-The Bell (A6) November 1986 The Bell-A1 (South Mimms) November 1986
