HC Deb 11 June 1975 vol 893 c176W
22. Mr. Fry

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what priority he proposes to give in the road programme to the construction of by-passes and other road improvements, vis-à-vis the construction of motorways.

Mr. Carmichael

We are continuing to give priority to schemes which will take heavy traffic out of towns and villages. Some will be motorways but many will be bypasses and improvements to existing roads.
