HC Deb 29 April 1975 vol 891 cc123-4W
Mr. Nicholas Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many miles of motorway were completed in Wales during 1974; and what is the target for 1975.

Mr. John Morris

None in 1974. 12.8 miles of motorway are now under con- struction although they will not be completed in 1975. Tenders have recently been invited for a further 12.2 miles, on which work should start this year, and I am hopeful that it will be possible also to commence a further 4–7 milts in 1975.
