HC Deb 09 December 1965 vol 722 cc154-5W
Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will provide a list of road schemes in Yorkshire which have been delayed in connection with the proposals for reducing immediate capital commitments; whether he will give an assurance that none of these will be delayed for more than six months; and whether he will give revised starting dates of each.

Mr. Tom Fraser

Details of schemes costing over £100,000 and the revised target starting dates are given below. A prompt start on the new dates depends on satisfactory progress with land acquisition and other preparatory work.
