HC Deb 23 July 1973 vol 860 c260W
Sir A. Meyer

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the anticipated date for the provision of a dual carriageway road from the English border to St. Asaph.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I cannot give a date, but I aim to carry out the work as quickly as possible.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has for expenditure on trunk roads in Cardiganshire in the next five years.

Mr. Peter Thomas

There are 11 trunk road schemes in Cardiganshire, estimated to cost nearly £1 million, in my firm programme. Subject to the necessary statutory procedures they should all be completed in the next five years. There are also three schemes, estimated to cost £2¼ million, in the preparation pool, which will be considered for advancement to the firm programme during this period.
