HC Deb 22 October 1984 vol 65 c460W
Rev. William McCrea

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the position concerning the Magherafelt bypass and when he expects work to commence.

Mr. Chris Patten

A section was constructed in 1977 to allow housing development to take place and a further small section is planned to proceed early next year; it is considered that construction in sections to accommodate development in the area is the best approach to the implementation of this scheme.
