To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he is now in a position to give the start date for construction of the Aberdulais to Glynneath section of the A465.

A start to the main works is planned for 1993–94 contingent on the availability of trunk roads programme resources during the year.

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give the latest total figure for the number of (a) fatalities and (b) accidents on the A465 between Aberdulais and Glynneath since 1978.

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the answer I gave him on 8 June 1992, column 57–59, for the number of accidents involving personal injury and the number of deaths resulting from accidents on the stretch of the A465 between Aberdulais, junction with A4109, and Glynneath, junction with B4242, for 1979 to 1990.
