NAEMBERS were told in the Commons ILI this week by the Minister of TrariSport that he wanted to ensure the cOuntry's major ports were adequately linked with 'induStrial centres. He said that plans for inter-urban road programmes in the 1970s would take full account of the needs of ports for good
road access. .
With the completion of the first 1,000 miles of motorway in the early 1970s, road access to almost all major ports from the Midlands and elsewhere would be greatly improved, added Mr. Fraser. One of the M.P.s who had 'questioned him about road links with the docks, Mr. Roger Gresham Cooke (Tory, Twickenham), pointed out that motorway links would lead to decentralization from the congested London docks and suggested that the Minister should look at the whole road scheme again. This was what he was doing, replied Mr. Fraser.
