107. Dr. Bennettasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what is now delaying the Order for the construction of a road between Fareham and Lee-on-Solent; and if, in recognition of the shortage of motor fuel, he will ensure that this road is promptly started.
§ Mr. WatkinsonI cannot make the Order until the Southern Gas Board has withdrawn its objection, which I referred to in my answer to my hon. Friend on 2nd August. I hope, however, that the Gas Board will be able to do this soon. Preparatory steps for the construction of the new road are already in train.
