§ Mr. Neaveasked the Minister of Transport when she expects to announce a line for the proposed Abingdon by-pass on the A34.
§ Mr. John MorrisThis scheme cannot be considered in isolation from longer term proposals for a major route between the Midlands, Oxford and Southampton. The engineering, traffic and cost benefit investigations have proved to be more difficult and extensive than originally envisaged. It will not be possible to select a line finally and publish a draft Order before the end of this year.
