Mr. Conlan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many kilometres of motorway were planned to he built in Wales in each of the years 1981 and 1982; what was the actual number under construction; and how many were completed.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

No motorway construction was planned for 1981 and 1982 but the completion of the 13-kilometre length of the M4 from Pencoed to Stormy Down (Bridgend northern bypass) was delayed by unforeseen difficulties until September 1981.
