HC Deb 05 July 1961 vol 643 cc124-5W
71. Mr. Morris

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will expedite the final approval for the Port Talbot bypass; and what plans he has for some of the work to be commenced either when the work on the Baglan—Britton Ferry Road or when the work on the Sandfields—Baglan link road has been completed so as to ensure the best possible use of men, material and equipment.

Mr. Marples

I am studying the report of the inspector on the public inquiry held in April and I will announce my decision as soon as possible. Work will then start as soon as the necessary land is acquired. The contract will be let by competitive tender.
