§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give an assurance that in deciding upon schemes of road improvement full consideration is given to the potential economic growth which such improvement can bring in addition to the narrower considerations of existing use and traffic density.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesThe criteria which are used in drawing up the programme of improvements of Welsh interurban roads are explained in paragraphs94W 677–682 of "Wales 1966". The aim is to carry out the schemes which will produce the maximum benefit. Safety considerations, predictable changes in the distribution and nature of industry and other developmental factors are taken into account.
