§ 33. Mr. Brooksasked the Minister of Transport whether he has now received objections from the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board to the proposed high-level crossing of the Mersey proposed by the Merseyside Land Use and Transportation Study; and if he will carry out studies, using tidal or mathematical 264W models, to show the effect upon estuarine silting of future high-level or alternative low-level crossings of the Mersey below Widnes.
§ Mr. MurrayWe have received no such objections. In any event this is a matter for the local authorities, and I understand that they are already cooperating with the board on preliminary technical studies.
