HC Deb 24 February 1960 vol 618 cc50-1W
62. Mr. Box

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now state when the Newport By-pass and other improvements to the Ross-Cardiff road are likely to be commenced.

Mr. Hay

My right hon. Friend hopes to authorise the first schemes in the comprehensive dualling of the trunk road between Ross and Newport during the next financial year. Preparatory work on the Newport By-pass is now actively in hand, but it is too soon yet to say when constructional work on this and on the subsequent improvement of the trunk road between Newport and Cardiff will be commenced.

63. Mr. Box

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now make a statement on the position of the proposed access road between Newport Road and Cardiff docks.

Mr. Hay

We have received a memorandum from the Cardiff City Council and this is now being studied. A reply will be given as soon as possible.
