HC Deb 29 April 1963 vol 676 cc82-3W
Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Transport, whether, in view of the proposal to close the passenger rail service between Brighton and Horsham, he will make a statement on the future of the toll bridge over the River Adur at Shoreham by Sea.

Mr. Marples

As my hon. Friend knows, I have plans to construct a new bridge over the River Adur at Shoreham' to carry the trunk road A.27 on a line which will bypass the town. The necessary draft Order is being prepared and will be advertised in due course.

Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Transport what were the total cash takings during 1962 from the toll bridge over the River Adur at Shoreham-by-Sea.

Mr. Marples

The receipts from the toll bridge in question are a matter for the British Railways Board, by which the bridge is now owned.
