Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Chris Skidmore and Jesse Norman

Thursday 5th July 2018 Commons Chamber

[Chris Skidmore (Kingswood) (Con)]

Earlier this year, a joint feasibility study conducted by South Gloucestershire Council and Highways England into a new M4 junction 18A recommended a western option at Emersons Green be adopted rather than an ill-thought-out eastern option that would cut through green-belt land. For the sake of local residents, will the Secretary of State now rule out this eastern option, which nobody supports and which now needs to be erased entirely?

As my hon. Friend will know, this topic is under active consideration and consultation at the moment.
