HC Deb 08 February 1939 vol 343 cc961-2W
Mr. Jenkins

asked the Minister of Transport when the work of widening the Newport (Monmouthshire)-Brecon road will be commenced?

Mr. Burgin

The acquisition of the necessary land for the improvement of the trunk road at Croes-y-Ceiliog will shortly be put in hand, but I am not at present in a position to say when constructional works will begin. With regard to the improvement of the county road between Abergavenny and Brecon, the report of a public inquiry, held on 24th January last, is under consideration.
