§ 71. Mr. Talbotasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the congestion and danger resulting from the section of the trunk road A.449 between Wolverhampton county borough boundary and the Battlefield Hill Wombourn roundabout; and whether he will authorise the acquisition of the necessary land so that this improvement may be no longer delayed.
§ Mr. MarplesI am aware of the conditions on this stretch of road. But I could devote funds to it, for land acquisition or otherwise, only by deferring other even more urgent works. My resources are already fully programmed up to 1968.
