§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Wales in what year he will make financial provision for converting the A48 and A40 East and West of Carmarthen into a dual carriageway.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesThe broad programme for the future described in paragraph 53 of "Wales: The Way Ahead" provides for the dualling of the A48 to Carmarthen and of the A40 between Carmarthen and St. Clears as well as for the provision of substantial lengths of dual carriageway on the A40 between Brecon and Carmarthen.
Work on the Morriston By-Pass (A48) and on Section "C" of the Carmarthen Diversion (A40) is expected to start in 231W about two years. The Pyle By-Pass (A48) is in the trunk road preparation pool and the construction of this road and the improvement of other lengths of the A40 and A48 will be undertaken as soon as resources permit.
