asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will set out in tabular form in the OFFICIAL REPORT the total national debt and the amount of interest paid on it in 1938, 1948, 1958, 1964, and the estimated figures for 1965 and 1968.

The figures are as follows:between Hirwaun and Abergavenny has been completed, the busiest section will be to the west of the junction with the Aberdare Road A.4059, which will have a traffic flow of about 7,000 vehicles per day. The Heads of the Valleys Road has been constructed with a good standard of visibility and if a motorist drives in a responsible manner with due regard for other road users, I am satisfied that the three-lane carriageway provided will be adequate and safe to carry the traffic for many years to come.
