Mr. Gower

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will state, giving the mileage in respect of each, those motorways or lengths of motorway for which no line had yet been proposed, a draft scheme had been published, a scheme had been made, tenders had been invited, a contract had been placed, which were under construction, and which were in use, respectively, as at 31st October.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The following lengths of motorway were in use:

A48 (M) Port Tablot By-Pass 4.4 miles
M4 Coldra-Newhouse 11.85"
M4 Newport By-Pass… 6/"

In addition there is the section of M4 from Newhouse to the Monmouthshire/Gloucestershire boundary, a distance of 0.9 miles, which remains the responsibility of my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Transport.

There are no lengths of motorway at any of the other stages mentioned.
