§ Mr. Pawseyasked the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of congestion on the M1 motorway, southbound, from a point some miles prior to its junction with the M25 and continuing up to that junction; what steps he proposes to take to improve the slip road from the M1 to M25; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Peter BottomleyNo interchange between the M1 and M25 will exist until junction 6A of the M1 is opened in the autumn as part of the final section of the M25. The congestion on the approach to junction 6 should then be much reduced. We shall in due course consider whether alterations are needed. In the meantime we are erecting signs on the M1 to warn of delays ahead.
