§ Mr. HillI have asked the Chief Executive of the Highways Agency, Mr. Peter Nutt, to write to the hon. Member.
Letter from Peter Nutt to Mr. Crispin Blunt, dated 28 February 2000:
The Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions has asked me to reply to your recent question about the estimated cost of resurfacing the M25 between junctions 8 and 10 in porous asphalt.We estimate that it would cost in the region of £14m to resurface this section of road using porous asphalt. This estimate excludes a 3 ½km section in the Leatherhead/Ashtead area at junction 9, which is already surfaced with porous asphalt.
