HC Deb 23 March 1989 vol 149 cc730-1W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the proposal for a bypass at Comber.

Mr. Needham

The Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland has a scheme to extend the existing Comber bypass from Killinchy street to Newtownards road.

This scheme is included in the current major works programme 1989–90 to 1993–94 and detailed design work is under way. It is not possible to indicate a start date since this will depend on the completion of the statutory processes and the availability of finances at the time.
