HC Deb 30 June 1993 vol 227 cc559-60W
Mr. Gale

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what action his Department is taking to ensure that the port of Ramsgate, serving Dunkirk, is restored to the same trans-Europe network map that features Dunkirk serving Ramsgate.

Mr. Key

We do not propose at present to press for any additions to the trans-European road network map. The current network proposals reflect key routes of greatest interest to intra-Community road traffic.

The importance of good road access to Ramsgate has been recognised already by the Government's substantial support, through transport supplementary grant, to Kent county council's programme of road improvements between Ramsgate and the M2.
