A57, Worksop (Bypass)

HC Deb 08 March 1978 vol 945 cc698-9W

Mr. Ashton

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will give the reasons for the postponement of the A57 bypass at Worksop; and whether he will now give a guarantee of implementation and state the new date for its completion.

Mr. William Rodgers

The bypass has not been postponed. Subject to completion of the remaining statutory procedures and to the availability of resources, we still expect it to be completed in the early 1980s.
