HC Deb 30 November 1965 vol 721 cc178-9W
Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Minister of Transport what road improvement schemes in Sussex are to be delayed as a result of the recent proposals for reducing capital commitments; whether he will give an assurance that none of these schemes will be delayed for more than six months; and what will be the revised starting dates of each scheme.

Mr. Tom Fraser
