HC Deb 17 February 1960 vol 617 cc119-20W
58. The Rev. Ll. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is now able to state when work will commence on the new Severn Bridge.

Mr. Hay

No, but I hope that it will be possible to make a start on the foundations of the bridge before very long. Meanwhile, preliminary work, including land acquisition, is continuing, and on 29th January my right hon. Friend published a draft Order dealing with the side roads and accesses affected by the approaches to the Severn Bridge.
