HC Deb 16 November 1977 vol 939 cc563-4
14. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the construction of the Beverley South-West Bypass.

Mr. Horam

Following the reopened public inquiry, my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Transport and for the Environment hope to announce their decision on the bypass early next week.

Mr. Wall

May I remind the Minister that the line of this route has been altered on a number of occasions and that that has caused great delay? Will he do his best to have the road constructed before the Humber Bridge opens, otherwise northbound traffic will overwhelm many villages in the area?

Mr. Horam

That is an important consideration, which I shall take into account.
