§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the reason for the two years' slippage in the programme to construct a bypass of Billesdon, Leicestershire, from 1982–83 to 1984–85.
§ Mrs. ChalkerAt the time of the 1980 White Paper, we expected to start work at the end of 1983 and we now hope to do so in February 1984. The slippage has therefore been three months, not two years.
