HC Deb 03 August 1966 vol 733 c118W
104. Miss Pike

asked the Minister of Transport why the A46 project between Syston and Thrussington, Leicestershire, originally scheduled to start in September, 1965, has been postponed for more than six months.

Mr. Swingler

It was not possible to complete the preparation of tender documents in time for work to begin immediately after the six months deferment period. Complications in confirming the contract caused some further delay. Work began on 20th June.
