HC Deb 09 November 1960 vol 629 c47W
61. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Transport when the proposed new bridge over the Usk river in Newport will be built.

Mr. Marples

If Parliament passes the Newport Corporation's Bill to provide for the bridge in the current Session, I hope to authorise the scheme in 1961–62. If I am satisfied with the details I have no doubt that the corporation will put the work in hand as soon as possible.
