§ 11. Mr. Gowerasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what improvements will be carried out during the next two years in the main Gloucester to Cardiff road; and to what extent these will include schemes for by-passing the main towns.
§ Mr. NugentWe expect that twenty-one improvement schemes will be started during the next two years on the main Gloucester to Cardiff road. These do not include any by-passes.
§ Mr. GowerWith reference to the need for by-passes, will my hon. Friend examine carefully the inadequacy of the narrow bridge and very steep hill at Chepstow and also the extreme danger of that hill?
§ Mr. NugentMy right hon. Friend and I recently received a deputation concerning Chepstow, but I am afraid that I can hold out no hope of a by-pass there in the near future.
