HC Deb 22 November 1961 vol 649 c1322
10. Mr. de Ferranti

asked the Minister of Transport when he anticipates work will start on the Backbarrow by-pass on A.590.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport (Mr. John Hay)

Preparation is going ahead and, if all goes well, construction should start within two years.

Mr. de Ferranti

Mr. Hay

Well, we hope to start within two years.
