§ 79. Mr. Wainwrightasked the Minister of Transport if he will publish the route, estimated cost, and starting date of the Wombwell by-pass road.
§ Mr. Tom FraserThe West Riding County Council, as highway authority, will be responsible for this by-pass.
Its line is shown in the First Review of the West Riding County Development Plan which has been submitted for the approval of my right hon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government. I understand his decision can be expected shortly. No firm estimate of the cost of the by-pass is available, but it is expected to exceed £500,000. It is unlikely that the scheme can be included in the roads programme for some considerable time.
