HL Deb 31 March 1976 vol 369 cc1281-2WA
Lord SWANSEA

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When a decision may be expected on the Brecon By-pass on the A40.

The LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord Elwyn-Jones)

Orders under the Highways Acts 1959–71 establishing the line of Southern and Eastern By-passes of Brecon and authorising amendments to affected side roads were made in July 1974. The decision of the Secretary of State for Wales on the draft compulsory purchase order which would enable him to acquire the land needed for the scheme is likely to be announced in the near future.
