HC Deb 20 July 1960 vol 627 c44W
59. Mr. Slater

asked the Minister of Transport when it is expected to commence work on the Darlington by-pass.

Mr. Hay

It is now proposed to modify the scheme by extending the motorway southwards to include a by-pass of Barton. Construction will be put in hand as soon as the necessary preparatory work has been completed and funds are available.
