    Junction 10a will be half a mile south of the existing junction 10, with a new dual carriageway link road also being built to the A270 near Sevington.

    The project will cost £104m.

    Quote Message

    This major new motorway junction is the biggest boost for Ashford since the arrival of international rail services nearly 20 years ago. Without Junction 10a in place, future economic growth would have been constrained."

    Damian Green

    A former Scotland Yard detective has told BBC News he was "shocked" by the amount of pornography viewed on a computer seized from the Commons office of senior Tory MP Damian Green.

    Neil Lewis examined the device during a 2008 inquiry into government leaks and has not spoken publicly before.

    He said "thousands" of thumbnail images of legal pornography were on it.

    Mr Green, Theresa May's deputy, has said he never watched or downloaded pornography on the computer.

    But Mr Lewis said a check of the computer's internet history over a three-month period showed pornography had been viewed "extensively".
