HC Deb 07 July 1969 vol 786 c212W
Mr. Edward Rowlands

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the estimated cost of building the M4 motorway from Newport to the beginning of the Eastern Avenue by-pass, Cardiff, and of the number of properties likely to be affected by this proposal.

Mr. George Thomas

£4 million. The number of properties likely to be affected cannot be forecast until an examination of possible lines for the road, which is now being carried out, has been completed and the results assessed.
