HC Deb 16 December 1959 vol 615 cc164-5W
74. Sir A. Hurd

asked the Minister of Transport whether a decision has now been reached about the line of the north-south by-pass road for Newbury; and when construction will begin.

Mr. Hay

A decision as to whether an outer by-pass or an inner relief road is the need here, must await the result of a detailed traffic survey to be made during the holiday season next summer. Thereafter, construction will be started as soon as a scheme can be prepared and funds are available.
