HC Deb 26 January 1993 vol 217 cc611-2W
Mr. William O'Brien

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list those instances where two motorways travel side by side in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

Many interchanges between motorways involve motorway slip roads running alongside the main carriageway with which they merge. In addition a skewed interchange between two motorways such as the M6 and M42 near Coleshill, or motorways merging such as the M26 where it joins both the M20 and the M25, can result in a short distance of parallel running.
