HC Deb 25 July 1956 vol 557 c402
32. Mr. Stokes

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the cost and area of the land which has been purchased for the two fly-overs on the St. Albans by-pass at North Orbital Road and the junction of the London—Holyhead road which projects are estimated to cost £5,500,000.

Mr. Watkinson

Between 20 and 25 acres of land will be required for these fly-overs. None of this can yet be acquired and I cannot, therefore, say what its cost will be.

Mr. Stokes

As the estimated cost of the total project presumably includes the land, at £5½ million, can the Minister say how much the estimated cost of the land is?

Mr. Watkinson

No—not without notice.
