HC Deb 05 March 1976 vol 906 c776W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, following his announcement of the preferred route for the Berwick-upon-Tweed bypass, he has taken steps to remove all restrictions on development previously imposed to protect such improvement lines for the A1 as will be rendered unnecessary by the bypass.

Mr. Marks

The problems of traffic and conservation in the centre of Berwick are now under active consideration and this review should be completed shortly. It would be premature at this moment to remove the existing restrictions on development.
