HC Deb 25 March 1959 vol 602 c1307
14. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is now able to announce the date upon which the construction of a second carriageway of the trunk road A.40 over the Bucks-Middlesex border will start.

Mr. Nugent

Preparatory work on a second carriageway for trunk road A.40 near Denham is well under way. Construction should start before the end of this year.

Mr. Bell

Will my hon. Friend bring forward as much as he can the start of work on this very dangerous stretch of road?

Mr. Nugent

We hope to let the contract by the middle of the summer.
