HC Deb 20 October 1969 vol 788 cc162-3W
Viscount Lambton

asked the Minister of Transport (1) when it is now planned that work should begin on the Belford bypass;

(2) when it is now planned that work should begin on the Felton bypass.

Mr. Mulley

Bypasses of Belford and Felton were included in the trunk road preparation pool on 1st July, 1969 with a view to inclusion in the road programme in the early 1970s. They will be considered for allocation to a specific programme year, in the light of resources available, when preparation has reached the stage at which their cost and benefits can be accurately assessed.
