HC Deb 28 April 1965 vol 711 c51W
53. Mr. George Jeger

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now give a progress report on the Thorne by-pass proposals.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The nature of the terrain to be traversed by the by-pass has proved to be very difficult. Much of the road will have to be on viaduct. Preparation work is proceeding with all possible speed but it is unlikely that it will be possible to make a start on construction work before 1967.
