HC Deb 22 November 1973 vol 864 cc521-2W
Mr. John Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what previous announcements have been made by him as to the forecast date of completion of the M4 in South Wales; and when he will be able to announce completion dates for the various remaining sections of the M4 in South Wales.

Mr. Peter Thomas

It has been my hope that the road would be completed by 1976. However, the time needed to complete the statutory procedures, including the consideration of many objections to the proposals, means that there sources indicate that both these organ will be slippage of this date save for the Pontardulais bypass which should be completed by the end of 1976. The of completion of this road will continue to be given first priority, consistent with the compliance with statutory requirements.
