HC Deb 15 March 1948 vol 448 cc1701-2
68. Colonel Ropner

asked the Minister of Transport whether a decision has yet been reached with regard to the precise route of the projected Tadcaster by-pass road.

Mr. Barnes

This route is being surveyed but the precise line has not yet been fixed.

Colonel Ropner

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the line will be fixed? A great deal of other planning is waiting for his decision in this matter.

Mr. Barnes

The divisional road engineer is in contact with the county council. I understand there is at the moment a question of one of the schools affecting the line.

Colonel Ropner

We know all that. Will the Minister say when a decision is likely to be reached?

Mr. Barnes

When the inquiries are finished.
