HC Deb 12 July 1939 vol 349 c2222
28. Sir W. Jenkins

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has completed his negotiations with the various interests in the matter of the Neath River Bridge; and when he is likely to sanction the scheme in order to find local employment when the armament rush will be reduced?

Captain Wallace

I hope to complete the negotiations and to make an Order under Section 1 (3) of the Trunk Roads Act for the Neath By-pass at an early date. This will enable me to put the work in hand when circumstances permit.
