HC Deb 21 April 1947 vol 436 c55W
9. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Transport for how many days the London-Reading trunk road to Maidenhead was closed to traffic through floods; when work will recommence on the Maidenhead bypass; and when it is anticipated the bypass will be completed.

Mr. Barnes

The London-Reading trunk road at Maidenhead was closed to light traffic for 13 days and to heavy traffic for 12 days. Owing to the shortage of labour, I am not able to state when work on the Maidenhead by-pass will be recommenced
