§ 14. Mrs. Middletonasked the Minister of Transport when it is expected that work will be commenced on the proposed new section of the Bristol-Bath road to by-pass the village of Keynsham; whether the construction of a road bridge or a hydroelectric dam plus roadway over the River Severn has been considered in relation to the former project; and what modification will be necessary in the plans for the bypass road in either case.
§ Mr. BarnesI cannot say when work can be started on the proposed Keynsham by-pass. The plans are being drawn up with due regard to the proposed Severn Bridge, but are not likely to be affected by any proposals made for a hydro-electric scheme.
