HC Deb 04 May 1971 vol 816 c338W
Mr. Hicks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he hopes to be able to announce the date for commencement of construction of the proposed Liskeard bypass.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The scheme is programmed for a start of work in 1972. I hope this will prove possible but it is subject to my right hon. Friend's consideration of the Inspector's report on the recent public inquiries, and to the availability of funds.
