HC Deb 21 December 1960 vol 632 c1290
22. Mr. Denzil Freeth

asked the Minister of Transport when he hopes to begin work to eliminate the bends on A.34 just south of Bullington Cross, Hampshire.

Mr. Hay

We hope to eliminate the bends as part of the roundabout scheme, which will be started as soon as the engineering details are finalised and land acquired.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

While thanking the Minister for that Answer, may I ask whether he can say exactly how much progress has been made in the preparation of these plans and whether at the moment it is a case of his Ministry waiting for the county council to reply or the county council waiting for his Ministry?

Mr. Hay

I have checked this morning on the current position. It is that the land plans have been received by our divisional road engineer but we are still awaiting the engineering details from the county surveyor.
