§ Mr. Buchananasked the Secretary of State for Transport what, at current prices, was (a) the cost estimate at public inquiry, (b) the accepted tender price and (c) the final contract price for each of the sections of the M40 already in use, namely, Gerrards Cross bypass, Knaves Beech interchange.

April 1977, that enforcing vehicle excise law on caravans is more difficult when they are parked off the road than when they are on the road on the move.

§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for Transport what additional administrative machinery, in terms of numbers of staff and costs, would be required to administer a vehicle excise licence for caravans not taking into account the administrative problems mentioned in the answer to the hon. Member for Christ-church and Lymington on 28th April.
§ Mr. HoramThe information requested cannot be provided except at disproportionate cost, so many are the potential variables.
