§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Minister of Transport for what reasons it has been decided to stop work on the Blackrod by-pass road; whether he is aware that 1290W the job is not far off completion; and, in view of the deterioration of the foundations that must must ensue if the job is not completed, will he reconsider the decision to prevent its completion?
§ Mr. PYBUSWork is being suspended by the county council in response to the Government's request for their cooperation in securing the limitation in road expenditure demanded by the financial situation. The road is about half finished, and I am satisfied that the county council will take such steps as will safeguard the work until such time as local and national finances will allow of its resumption.
