§ Mr. Gywnfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many miles of dual carriageway roads have been started since 1965 in the six counties of western Wales, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Cardiganshire, Merioneth, Caenarvanshire and Anglesey, respectively; and what will be the total mileage of dual carriageway road to have been constructed in these counties by 1975.
§ Mr. George ThomasThe information is as follows:
In these counties, where there are no large towns and volumes of traffic are relatively light, my strategy is in the main to improve trunk roads to a good modern single carriageway standard, with lengths of dual carriageway at the point of heaviest pressure.
Mileage: Started since 1965 Constructed by 1975 Carmarthenshire 0.13 2.14 Pembrokeshire 0.25 0.35 Cardiganshire Nil Nil Merioneth Nil Nil Caernarvonshire 1.76 3.66 Anglesey Nil 0.50 2.14 6.65
