HC Deb 19 July 1971 vol 821 c201W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about the design difficulties which necessitated the postponement of the start of improvement to the A39 at Hele Bridge between Bude and Camel-ford.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

It was necessary to investigate whether the siting of the new bridge over the River Strat and the Bude Canal was compatible with any further improvement of A39 required in the future.
