HC Deb 01 May 1985 vol 78 c136W
Sir Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will estimate the extra cost per mile for commercial transport-users if the northern route for the Okehampton bypass is used as opposed to the southern route.

Mrs. Chalker

Costs per mile for transport operators would be broadly similar on the two routes. The petitioners' route is more than a mile longer than the Department's.
