HC Deb 19 March 1973 vol 853 c3
3. Sir A. Meyer

asked the Secretary of State for Wales when he expects to publish the line to be followed by the Holy-well by pass; and when construction work is expected to begin.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I expect to publish proposals before the end of the year. It is too early to say when construction work will begin.

Sir A. Meyer

Is my right hon. and learned Friend satisfied that sufficient urgency is being devoted to the problem of roads in North Wales? The provision of good road communications both within North Wales and between North Wales and the British motorway system is probably the most important factor for ensuring that we get more and better jobs in North Wales.

Mr. Thomas

I certainly agree with the last part of my hon. Friend's remarks. I can assure him that I am dealing with this matter with a sense of urgency.
