§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the proposed line for the final section of the A1 Alnwick bypass was determined; and whether it has been or will be recognised in the light of present ideas about road design and in the light of the advice given in his Department's publication "Roads and the Environment" of 9th June 1975.
§ Mr. MarksThe line of the Alnwick bypass was established by Order under Section 1(3) of the Trunks Road Act 1936 in August 1939. The line of the final section has been examined in the light of current principles of road design including those set out in "Roads and the Environment", but no adjustment is considered necessary.
