HC Deb 17 May 1978 vol 950 c195W
Mr. Kimball

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give an undertaking that, despite his Department's declared intention to de-trunk the A57, he will reinstate the Newton on Trent bypass as a project to be carried out in the next two years.

Mr. Horam

While the A57 remains a trunk road, schemes for improvements along it will be considered on their merits within the availability of funds. It is unlikely that a bypass of Newton on Trent could be started within two years.
