HC Deb 24 November 1965 vol 721 cc60-1W
Mr. Bessell

asked the Minister of Transport if the survey of the A.38 between Bristol, Exeter and Plymouth has now been completed; and when work on the proposed motorway between Bristol and Exeter will commence.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. But I expect to receive early in the new year a report giving the results of the traffic survey and recommending what form the new road between East Brent and Exeter should take. A detailed engineering survey will then be needed. Work could not start before the early 1970s.
