HC Deb 25 November 1970 vol 807 c128W
115. Mr. Temple

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the fact that an Order defining the centre line of a bypass for Chester was made as long ago as 1961 under Section 7 of the Highways Act, 1959 and that traffic congestion is threatening to destroy the historic character of Chester, he will state when the Chester ring road, southern section, will definitely be included in his road construction programme.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

I am expecting a detailed report shortly and I hope to be able to reach a programming decision by the late spring.
