§ 17. Mr. Deanasked the Minister of Transport on what basis she has estimated in paragraph 27 of Reasons for the Minister's decision not to authorise 295W the construction of a new dock at Port-bury, Bristol, that the additional haulage charge for 1.5 million tons of diverted exports referred to in paragraph 26 would amount to approximately £1 million a year.
§ Mr. SwinglerThe figure is based in general on estimates of the differences between road haulage charges to Port-bury and those from the point of origin of goods to the port used at present, based on estimated future tonnages and rates per ton for the journeys involved. I will write to the hon. Member with fuller information about the calculation.
