§ 90. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the estimated cost of building an alternative road if the proposal to close the one running through Binbrook Royal Air Force Station is accepted; and, in view of the need for rigid economy in Government expenditure, if he is satisfied the change is necessary.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe estimated cost of constructing an alternative road is £70,000. The County Council of Lincoln, Parts of Lindsey, have suggested that instead of constructing a new road, two existing roads around the airfield should be improved and this suggestion is being examined. I shall, of course, consider what will be the most appropriate arrangement. A suitable alternative is required if the existing road is now to be permanently closed.
