HC Deb 12 November 1974 vol 881 c98W
Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the Canterbury bypass will be started.

Mr. Carmichael

It is too early to say. My right hon. Friend appreciates the urgent need for this road but, because of the extensive preparatory work which must first be completed, formal draft proposals are unlikely to be published before the end of 1975.
