§ Mr. Wrigglesworthasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will now publish his Department's proposed line of route for the A66 trunk road through Thornaby; when it is estimated that the statutory procedures for establishing the main line of route and the side road alterations will be completed; and when he anticipates that construction of the new road will begin.
§ Mr. CarmichaelWe hope to publish draft proposals within a year. Start of construction will depend on satisfactory completion of the statutory procedures and the availability of funds.
