§ 69. Mr. Bullardasked the Minister of Transport whether he will make a statement on the traffic congestion in King's Lynn; and whether he will state the date on which he expects to start work on the trunk road section of the King's Lynn by-pass.
§ Mr. MarplesThe traffic problem in King's Lynn has been helped considerably by the measures of traffic control which have been token this year. Moreover, two road improvements costing £185,000 are in this year's programme, and the eastern by-pass casting over half a million pounds is programmed for 1964–65. This will be of great benefit. But I cannot forecast when the southern trunk road section of the by-pass will be started. It is a costly project and there are more urgent demands upon the funds available.
