HC Deb 28 October 1966 vol 734 c240W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what cuts have been made in the road programme for Wales as a result of the economic squeeze; and which projects have been affected by these cuts.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The previously programmed investment in major improvement and new construction schemes in 1967–68 has been reduced by £400,000. Whether this relatively small cut will delay the start of any projects will depend on the progress of the pre-contract work in the next few months.

Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what cuts have been made in the road programme for Montgomery-shire as a result of the economic squeeze.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

None.
