HC Deb 31 March 1987 vol 113 cc451-2W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list all the motorway and trunk road construction contracts with a works cost of £1 million or more which his Department intends to award in 1987–88, showing in each case the total value of the contract and the expenditure likely to be incurred in that year.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Subject to the satisfactory completion of statutory procedures, the completion of engineering design and the availability of resources we hope to let contracts for the following major schemes in 1987–88.

A55 Penmaenmawr bypass
A483 Newbridge bypass and Whitehurst Link
A55 Northop bypass

A470 Llanidloes bypass
A55 Llanfairfechan bypass
A48 Nant-y-Caws—Coed Hirion bypass.

It is not possible to give the cost of the contracts or the expenditure to be incurred in 1987–88, since this will depend on the value of the accepted tenders and the contractors' programmes of work.
