§ Mr. RoweTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) when he expects the M20 link between Hollingbourne and Ashford, and the Maidstone bypass expansion to be completed;
208W(2) when he expects to place the contracts for the M20 link between Hollingbourne and Ashford and the Maidstone bypass expansion.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyWe expect to let two contracts for the completion of the M20 between Hollingbourne and Ashford before the end of this year and in the spring, for completion in 1991. Timing of the Maidstone bypass widening will depend on the outcome of the statutory procedures. We hope that it will be completed by the time the Channel tunnel opens.
