HC Deb 02 July 1951 vol 489 c173W
3. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Transport if, in view of the importance of efficient communications between the Midlands and South Wales for the prosecution of the defence programme and the large-scale plans provided for this development area, he will secure priority for the provision of an improved road.

Mr. Barnes

Plans are being prepared for improved road communications between the Midlands and South Wales, but in present circumstances it is not possible to incur the very considerable expenditure involved in putting them into execution.
