HC Deb 12 February 1951 vol 484 cc21-2W
Surgeon Lieut.-Commander Bennett

asked the Minister of Transport what progress he has made towards the restoration of road communications between Lee-on-Solent and Fareham.

Mr. Barnes

I have agreed on the line of the alternative route to replace Milvil Lane and I shall publish shortly draft proposals for the closure of that road and the provision of the alternative. In view of the high cost of providing the alternative highway and the present need for economy, I cannot undertake that the work will be carried out in the near future.
