§ Mr. FranksTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what progress is being made regarding the A590 bypasses at Dalton, Lindal and Swarthmoor, in Furness; when he expects building work to commence; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyWe intend to publish statutory orders for the Dalton bypass very soon. If all goes well, construction might start in 1991.
We are considering the results of preliminary investigations into the Swarthmoor bypass.
The trunk road forward programme does not include a bypass of Lindal. We are considering whether there is any case for future inclusion of such a scheme.
