HC Deb 16 June 1971 vol 819 c88W
59. Sir D. Walker-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has yet been able to publish his proposals for the western section of the Bishop's Stortford east/west bypass and to define its relationship with the construction of the eastern section.

Mr. Graham Page

The western section of the Bishop's Stortford east/west bypass is a principal road scheme for which Hertfordshire County Council are responsible. They hope to start construction in 1972, so that it may be open at the same time as the eastern section, and the nearby section of Mil. A decision on the county council's proposals for the western section is expected following fuller examination.
