Mr. Arnold
asked the Lord Privy Seal what progress has been made with the construction of the new road from Makambako to Songea in Southern Tanzania; and when he expects completion.
Mr. Hurd
The work will be carried out in two stages. The contract for the first—northern—section from Makambako to Wino was signed between the Tanzanian Government and Balfour Beatty on 1 December 1979 and work will begin soon. This stage is expected to take two and a half years to construct and the whole project about five years to complete.
