HC Deb 13 May 1968 vol 764 c215W
Sir R. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport if he will state the average cost per mile of building motorways on the surface and overhead in rural and urban areas, respectively; and how much of those totals is represented by the cost of land and property and of compensation for the disturbance of residents.

Mr. Bob Brown

The information is not available in the form requested. Costs vary so much because of differences in circumstances that average costs are likely to be meaningless.
