HC Deb 13 November 1964 vol 701 cc121-2W
Mr. Frank Pearson

asked the Minister of Transport when work will be started on the Edenfield-Rawtenstall level-crossing by-pass scheme; and what has led to the delay in commencing this scheme.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No firm date can be given for starting work on this scheme. Legal proceedings have been instituted to quash the Order made under Section 9 of the Highways Act. I hope that an early decision will be possible.
