§ Mr. MarplesThe line of this bypass was established by Order made in January, 1962. I have advertised for tenders and work should start this summer. It will take twenty-four months to complete. Preparation of this scheme up to the invitation of tenders has taken longer than was expected because of land acquisition difficulties.
