STRATTON-SAINT MARGARET BY-PASS (Hansard, 27 April 1977)

HL Deb 27 April 1977 vol 382 c679WA 679WA

§ Lord MANCROFT
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether the completion of the Stratton-Saint Margaret by-pass North of Swindon is affected by the economies, in expenditure on public works and if not, when it is expected that the by-pass will be opened to traffic.

§ Baroness STEDMAN
The recent reductions in public expenditure did not affect road schemes already under construction. Work on the by-pass started in September 1975 and it is expected that it will be opened to traffic in the autumn of this year.
