§ Mr. Thorneycroftasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will now give an approximate date at which it is planned to start the Chepstow Inner Relief Road; and whether he is aware of the urgency of this matter having regard to the amount of traffic congestion in the area.
§ Mr. James GriffithsThis scheme has not yet found a place in the road programme. Its priority is affected by the fact that there has been a considerable increase in the estimate of its cost, but discussions about the cost of the scheme are proceeding between the divisional road engineer and the highway authorities concerned.
