§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales when he expects to be able to announce the starting date for the construction of the proposed Newtown bypass; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsI shall be appointing consultants shortly to develop a scheme to bypass Newtown which we have recently added to the Department's long-term trunk road programme. It is too soon to indicate when construction might commence.
