HC Deb 23 February 1948 vol 447 c292W
83. Mr. Price-White

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the effect of his decision to suspend work upon the major road improvements at Ty Golli on the Bangor to Caernarvon road will have upon unemployment figures in an area where increased unemployment is causing grave concern; and, if, in view of the extent of the works already completed upon this scheme, he will reconsider his decision, as to complete the scheme forthwith would eventually prove financially more economical than to suspend operations at the present time.

Mr. Barnes

I have received representations on this matter from the Caernarvon County Council which I am considering. I am not yet in a position to announce a final decision and I have arranged for the work to proceed in the meantime.
