Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the sections of motorway in Wales, showing the mileages in each case, which are in use, under construction, for which tenders have been invited, for which schemes have been made, for which draft schemes have been published, and for which a line has not yet been published, showing the actual or estimated completion date and the actual or estimated cost wherever possible.
