§ Mr. Abseasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he is aware of the hazards that have arisen to users of the newly constructed Croesyceiliog by-pass in Monmouthshire; and what action he intends to take to improve the surface of this road and to erect suitable warning signs.
§ Mr. James GriffithsI have been kept fully informed about accidents on the bypass and am in close touch with the Monmouthshire County Council and the police. The road surface is good and some slight improvement that was found possible at one point has been made. Adequate temporary road signs were provided when the by-pass was opened and they are being replaced by permanent signs as these become available.
