§ 70. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that it is four months since a request was made to him by the Bristol Corporation for permission to start the section of the inner circuit road from Horsefair to York Street; that a further delay will retard the erection of the city's shopping centre; and when sanction will be given to proceed with the work.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThis scheme has required careful consideration since funds are only available for essential work. I have reached the conclusion that only that part of the scheme which extends from Horsefair to the service court east of Barrs Street could be regarded as essential to the re-building so far approved. On receipt of revised plans I will give urgent consideration to that portion of the scheme.
