HC Deb 06 November 1972 vol 845 c39W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many miles of trunk road dual carriageway it is planned to build in Wales within the next five years and the next 10 years, respectively.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Schemes in progress or firmly programmed to start by 1974–75 will provide an additional 40 miles of dual carriageway road. The Preparation Pool contains schemes to provide a further 158 miles. The precise dates of starting these will depend on a variety of factors, including their relative priority and the completion of necessary statutory processes.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a White Paper on the Welsh Office's proposals for motorway and trunk road development in Wales.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I shall bear this suggestion in mind.
