HC Deb 11 November 1968 vol 773 c2
2. Mr. Tilney

asked the Minister of Transport what are his calculations as to the likely return from tolls on the proposed Dee estuary reclamation crossing between Wirral and Wales.

Mr. Bob Brown

The Department is advising on traffic aspects of the Dee estuary crossing study. It is too early yet to expect final results from the study, or to calculate returns from any possible toll.

Mr. Tilney

Is the Minister aware that this is a multi-purpose scheme which would vastly increase the amenities so badly needed in Merseyside? Will he look at what the Dutch are doing to their coast line?

Mr. Brown

We are not unaware of precisely what the Dutch are doing.
