HC Deb 15 June 1966 vol 729 c290W
68. Mr. Robert Mathew

asked the Minister of Transport when she now expects the construction of the bypass road at Honiton to be completed; what the original date for completion was when the work was started in the summer of 1964; and what has been the reason for the delay.

Mr. John Morris

My right hon. Friend hopes that the bypass will be open by the end of September. The contract completion date is July but progress has been affected by the bad weather earlier this year.
