HC Deb 30 April 1973 vol 855 cc256-8W
Mr. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list, showing the mileage in respect of each, those local authority motorways or lengths of motorway in use, under construction, motorway schemes confirmed by the Secretary of State, and those made by the local authority and submitted to the Secretary of State for confirmation, respectively, as at 30th April.

Mr. Peter Thomas

There are no schemes in use, under construction or confirmed. The county borough of the city of Cardiff has decided not to proceed with its scheme—Thornhill to east of River Taff near Tresillian Terrace— which would have required confirmation.

Mr. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list, giving the mileage in respect of each, those trunk motorways or lengths of motorway in preparation, firmly programmed, under construction, and those motorways or lengths of motorway in use, respectively, as at 30th April.
