HC Deb 22 April 1991 vol 189 c346W
14. Mr. Speller

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what major road improvements he plans for north Devon in co-operation with Devon county council during the next five years.

Mr. Chope

The 47-mile long north Devon link road was completed in 1989 at a cost of £47 million and the Barnstaple and Bideford bypasses were completed in 1987 and 1989 at a cost of £21 million and £17 million respectively.

The level of investment in roads in north Devon in the next five years will not be as great, but schemes put forward by Devon county council for transport supplementary grant will be considered on their merits.
