HC Deb 05 December 1986 vol 106 cc800-1W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what representations he has received concerning the construction of new roads on stilts above railway lines; and if he will make a statement;

(2) what consideration is being given to the construction of a motorway on stilts between central London and Gatwick airport; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We have received suggestions from time to time but have no proposals for such schemes.

An assessment study into transport related problems in the broad corridor between central London and Gatwick is under way. The consultants have been identifying the problems in this corridor. I hope to publish their report soon.
