HC Deb 09 June 1969 vol 784 c179W
Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now give consideration to advancing the starting date for the A38 Sutton Coldfield By-Pass from its present date of April, 1971, in view of the fact that a starting date was previously given as October, 1969.

Mr. Bob Brown

Construction work on this scheme cannot start before 1971 because of the time required to complete the statutory procedures, on which there are objections, and to acquire the necessary land.
