§ 10. Mr. R. Bellasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what he estimates would be the cost of a fly-over crossing with interconnections at the intersection of A40 and the North Circular Road.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterAbout £600,000.
§ Mr. BellWould my right hon. Friend agree that this money would be saved in a year or two by the saving of time of the traffic using this road? Is it not a fact that the configuration of the ground is particularly suitable for a fly-over crossing and that the traffic blocks every rush-hour on every day are simply enormous?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI agree with what my hon. Friend says, which is at any rate part of the reason why I put it into the programme for the next three years which I announced on 2nd February.
