HC Deb 02 July 1965 vol 715 c148W
Sir R. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport if he is satisfied that enough use is being made of tunnelling in making new roads, in view of the many schemes being carried out abroad, and the saving in compensation for demolition of property compared with surface or overhead roads; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Swingler

New roads are built in tunnel where the balance of advantage in cost and difficulty of construction and maintenance favours this method.
