HC Deb 17 March 1993 vol 221 c265W
Mr. James Hill

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he now expects the M3 extension between Bar End and Compton to be completed.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

The M3 motorway between Bar End and Compton is expected to be completed in autumn 1994.

Mr. James Hill

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what consideration his Department is giving to the upgrading of the M27 at Chilworth into a four-lane motorway; and on what time scale.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

There is a scheme in the road programme for widening the motorway between junctions 4 and 12. The next stage would be to conduct a fee competition for the engineering consultancy. No date has yet been fixed for this.
