HC Deb 12 June 1980 vol 986 cc303-4W
Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Minister of Transport when he expects work on the Stocksbridge bypass to start, in view of the fact that it is within the criteria of paragraph 20 of the White Paper "Policy for Roads, England 1980".

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

In the White Paper Stocksbridge bypass is included in the reserve list for 1982 and 1983. Tins means that draft orders will be published and design undertaken with a view to a start in 1982–83 if resources become available then.

Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Minister of Transport if, following the White Paper "Policy for Roads, England 1980", he will give the starting date for building the Stocksbridge bypass along with the link roads at Deepcar at British Steel Corporation Stocksbridge, and the Wortley to Hood Hill link with the M1.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Stocksbridge bypass and the link from Wortley to the Ml are included in the reserve list for 1982 and 1983. This means that draft orders will be published and design undertaken with a view to a start in 1982–83 if resources become available then. Access arrangements at Deepcar and to BSC Stocksbridge are still being examined.
