HC Deb 30 January 1974 vol 868 cc131-2W
Mr. Geraint Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales when he proposes to publish the draft order relating to his preferred route for the Colcon Expressway in the Colwyn Bay area.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I hope to publish my draft proposals for the line of the new trunk road between Llandulais and Aber sometime in April. Draft orders dealing with the alteration of side roads on the length between Llandulais and Conway Morfa should follow about two months later.

Mr. Geraint Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales when he expects the public inquiry that will follow the publication of the draft order relating to his preferred route for the Collcon Expressway to commence its sittings.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The need for a public inquiry will depend on public reaction to the draft proposals. If a public inquiry proves necessary it will probably be held toward the end of the year.
