42. Mr. Jack

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many bypasses have been completed since 1979.

A total of 96 bypasses and relief roads have been completed since 1979, representing 40 per cent. of new national road mileage.

Other trunk road schemes, although not denoted bypasses, have a bypassing effect.
