HC Deb 05 May 1947 vol 437 c7W
76. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement indicating what progress will be made during 1947 in the development of motorways in Great Britain and, in particular, what progress will be made in constructing the new motor road to the West of England.

Mr. Barnes

No powers are at present available to construct motorways. Preliminary investigation is being made into projected routes, including one to the West of England.
