§ Mr. Deanasked the Minister of Transport when he proposes to authorise the building of the Batheaston by-pass on the A.4 which is included in the Somerset County Development Plan; and when he expects the by-pass to be completed.
§ Mr. Tom FraserI hope to include this by-pass in a future extension of the roads programme. I cannot say when a place will be found for it in competition with the many schemes more urgently needed elsewhere.
§ Mr. Deanasked the Minister of Transport if he will state the results of the census of vehicles taken during 1965 relating to traffic on the A.4 through Batheaston.
§ Mr. Tom FraserCounts were taken at Batheaston in February and May as part of a national survey of trunk road traffic. As soon as the results have been analysed, they will be made available to interested parties.
