HC Deb 08 November 1960 vol 629 c37W
81. Sir F. Soskice

asked the Minister of Transport when he will authorise the scheme to provide for a second river crossing in Newport.

Mr. Box

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the congestion in the centre of Newport, he will approve the Newport Corporation's plans for a new bridge at George Street.

Mr. Marples

If Parliament approves the Bill which the Newport Corporation will be laying before them this Session, I would hope to consider the Corporation's scheme for a grant in 1961–62.
