§ Mr. Rowlandsasked the Secretary of State for Wales for each of the remaining sections of the M4, what are the dates at which he estimates a draft order of the lines of the route will be published, the estimated dates of the public inquiries into these orders, and the dates at which construction will begin and be completed to finish the consruction of the M4 by the planned date of 1976.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasLine orders for all sections except the Cardiff Outer bypass have already been published and the proposals for the bypass should be published towards the end of 1973.
The public inquiry into the Capel Llanilltern-Pencoed section will open on 20th June, and for the Pyle bypass in 207W late summer this year. Public inquiries on other sections of the route will be arranged as necessary in the light of objections received.
As regards construction work, the Morriston bypass is expected to be completed in August this year. Starting dates for the remaining schemes which are in the preparation pool have still to be determined.
