HC Deb 27 November 1963 vol 685 c73W
Dr. Bennett

asked the Minister of Transport what progress he has made towards starting the south coast trunk road in the area of Portchester and Fareham.

Mr. Marples

My engineers hope to let me have firm proposals early next year. The preparatory work has been complicated by difficulties which have been met in determining the line of the route immediately to the east, between Broadmarsh and Portsbridge. These difficulties have lain primarily in reconciling the needs of traffic and navigation.
