approximate mileage of new by-pass roads constructed in Great Britain and the mileage of these along which ribbon development has already taken place?

Captain A HUDSON

The mileage of by-pass roads constructed in Great Britain with assistance from the Road Fund in recent years is approximately 200 miles. Without calling for special surveys by the several highway authorities concerned, my hon. Friend cannot say what proportion of the mileage has been developed.

Sir G. FOX

Does it not seem that definite information is required, in view of a proposed Bill to deal with ribbon development?

Captain A. HUDSON

I will convey the question to my hon. Friend.
