§ 111. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Transport whether the findings of the public inquiry held in June, 1947, on the proposed by-pass road from the Severn Bridge to West Wales through Newport will be made public, in view of the fact that it is holding up the general planning of the town, and as the possibility of it going directly through a densely populated area will be a serious menace to its future development.
§ Mr. BarnesIt is not the practice to publish reports of this nature and I see no reason to make an exception in this case. The interested parties, including the local planning authority, were informed of my decision by letter dated 12th December, 1947, and the formal order fixing the line of this by-pass was made on 15th January, 1948.
