§ 32. Mr. Clark Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the additional cost of the Tay Road Bridge over the original estimate; and if the building programme is up to time.
§ Mr. RossI am informed by the Joint Board that the cost of completing the scheme may be about £51 million as compared with the Provisional Order estimate of £4.386 million. To this must be added the interest which will accrue on loans advanced during the construction period. There is a good prospect that the bridge will be ready for the target date of June, 1966.
