THE EARL OF SELKIRK

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the line of the Southampton by-pass has been decided and whether they could say when work on the by-pass is expected to be completed.

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE, DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT (LORD SANDFORD)

The line of M.27 between Cadnam and Ports-bridge has already been fixed. Subject to the completion of statutory and other procedures the Cad-nam-Chilworth and Windhover-Ports-bridge section are expected to be completed in spring, 1975 and the intervening Chilworth-Windhover section during 1977.
