HC Deb 07 May 1969 vol 783 cc108-9W
Mr. Hall-Davis

asked the Minister of Transport if he will announce a date for the commencement of work on the Furness Link Road; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Marsh

The preparation of the proposed Barrow (Arnside) Link Road is at an early stage and although no firm date can yet be given it is hoped, subject to the satisfactory completion of the statutory procedures, that it may be possible for tenders to be invited by about the early part of 1971.
