§ 34. Mr. Steeleasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the estimated cost of the bridgework at Duneaton on the A.74 and if he will state the cost of the work now completed, and the estimated cost of the work on completion.
§ Mr. NobleThe total estimated cost of the culvert and associated embankment was £249,000; expenditure of some £238,000 has been incurred so far; the final total estimated cost is now likely to be of the order of £290,000. The increase is due to sub-soil difficulties which called for deeper foundations.
