HC Deb 25 February 1965 vol 707 c138W
Mr. Thorneycroft

asked 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 Griffiths

This 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.
