HC Deb 07 July 1971 vol 820 c387W
56. Mr. Luce

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what effect the recently announced motorways and trunk roads expansion plan will have upon existing proposals for by-passes to relieve from through-traffic villages and towns not on trunk roads.

Mr. Graham Page

The plan is unlikely to have any substantial effect on principal road by-pass schemes already programmed or in preparation. We will continue to give sympathetic consideration to other principal road by-pass schemes local authorities may propose.
