§ Mr. Mallalieuasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the A637 county road Flockton bypass, which was placed in the firm programme in March 1970, is still there; when construction work is expected to begin; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CarmichaelThe Flockton bypass was included in the preparation list, not the firm programme, in March 1970. The timing of its construction will, under the new transport policy and programme arrangements, be a matter for the West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council which is the highway authority.
