§ 27. Sir William Jenkinsasked the Minister of Transport what number of schemes dealing with narrow roads, dangerous corners and new bridges is sanctioned for the county of Glamorgan for the current year; what number for the next two years, and the estimated cost; and what is the estimated cost of new schemes to be carried out during the next two years?
§ Captain WallaceTwelve schemes estimated to cost £42,163 have been approved for commencement this year on the trunk roads in the county of Glamorgan. A further five schemes estimated to cost £322,930 are in course of preparation. Twenty-four schemes on county roads estimated to cost £288,000 are at present in progress. Sixteen schemes, estimated to cost £151,000, have been formally approved but not yet commenced, and 18, estimated to cost £272,000, have been approved, in principle, for commencement before 1st April, 1940. As I have only just received the county council's proposals for the fifth year of the five-year programme, I am not at present in a position to give the total number and cost of schemes submitted by the county council that may be sanctioned this year or in the next two years.
