78. Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Transport what is the reason for the delay in building the temporary flyover at the Hogarth Roundabout on the A4, as promised last April; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mr. Swingler:The principal causes of delay were objections made to the draft Order under Section 9 of the Highways Act, 1959 and later to the Compulsory Purchase Order. These have now been resolved; the land required for the scheme has been acquired and buildings on it demolished. Orders have been issued for the carrying out of works by the 380W statutory undertakers and tenders to fabricate and erect the flyover will be invited shortly.
