§ 23. Mr. Simon CoombsTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the progress of his plans to widen the M4 between junctions 5 and 15.
§ Mr. KeyWe expect to start public consultation in the autumn on a scheme for the improvement of the M4 between junctions 4B and 8/9. Work is proceeding satisfactorily on other commissions to study the need and options for increasing the capacity of the motorway between junction 8/9 and junction 15. Public consultation on these schemes will take place once this work is completed.
