§ 49. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Transport what plans for urban road construction in Bristol are now awaiting his approval; what is the average time between the submission of plans and the giving of approval; and what steps are being taken to speed up road improvements in the city.
§ Mr. GalbraithOnly one small scheme awaits formal grant approval at present and this will be given shortly. Other schemes are being prepared and are likely to be ready as planned. It is impossible to generalise about the time taken to approve schemes. This depends on their size and complexity.
