§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the estimated cost of building a reconstructed trunk road from Swansea via Llanelli and Carmarthen to Whitland.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesThe trunk route between Swansea and Carmarthen is along the A48 road. I could not estimate the cost of a route via Llanelli without a special survey.
The cost of reconstructing the A40 road from Carmarthen to Whitland would be of the order of £7 million to £8 million.
