HC Deb 29 July 1964 vol 699 cc306-7W
72. Sir M. Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Transport what plans he has for making a by-pass round Ilkley to take the through traffic; if it is necessary to construct an inner relief road; and if he will give an assurance that he will choose a route which does not mean the demolition of much residential property.

Mr. Marples

An Order establishing the line of a by-pass for Ilkley was made in 1938, but we are investigating the possibility of an alternative line with the local authorities concerned. The effect on residential property is one of the factors we are taking into account.
