HC Deb 01 August 1956 vol 557 c162W
97. Mr. Stokes

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he will state the amount included in the estimate of £5,500,000 for the purchase of the 20 to 25 acres of land required for the two fly-overs on the St. Albans bypass at North Orbital Road and the junction of the London—Holyhead Road.

Mr. Watkinson

About 400 acres of land will be required for the whole by-pass and the amount included in the estimate for this land is £80,000. It is not possible to be more precise or to allocate this sum as between different parcels of land until detailed negotiations are started.
