Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to alter the slip-roads on the A404(M) and A404 approaching the junction with the M4 and the M40. - (Holding answer 11 July 2002).

Answer: Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to alter the slip roads on the A404(M) and A404 approaching the junction with the M4 and the M40. [69166] Mr. Jamieson: [holding answer 11 July 2002]: Proposed improvements to the M40/A404 junction at Handy Cross include a new slip road from the A404 to the westbound M40. Any major changes to the junction between the A404(M) and the M4 are subject to the Thames Valley Multi-Modal Study. In the interim, it is proposed to widen the immediate approach from the A404(M) to the junction roundabout as a low cost measure to decrease queue lengths and increase throughput on A404(M).
