HC Deb 16 May 1956 vol 552 cc169-70W
37. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what progress has been made in the preparatory proceedings for the relief roads at Newbury; and if he can now give a date when the work will begin.

Mr. Molson

An Order establishing the line of the East-West relief road has been made and contract details for the scheme will shortly be prepared. My right hon. Friend is considering objections to the draft Order for the North-South relief road. I cannot yet say when work will begin.
