§ Mr. Tudor Watkinsasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he is aware of the hold-up in the traffic in and out of the town of Brecon during the Easter Bank Holiday, which caused inconvenience to local people; and whether he will make a statement on the progress made on the planning and construction of a by-pass of the borough.
§ Mr. George ThomasI am aware of the difficulties referred to by my hon. Friend.
I have included a by-pass south of Brecon, with a spur to the east of the town, in the preparation pool of trunk road schemes. Possible lines for the roads are being considered, and I shall publish a draft Order giving my proposals as soon as I can.
