Colonel ASHLEY

asked the Minister of Transport what it is roughly estimated will be the cost to the Road Fund of the special London schemes, such 'as the Dartford-Purfleet tunnel and the Elephant and Castle improvements?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The estimated cost to the Road Fund of the two schemes to which the right hon. Gentleman refers and of other special schemes in London now in progress or in contemplation, towards which grants have been promised, is approximately £9,000,000, excluding any grants which may be made towards approved schemes in respect of Charing Cross, Waterloo and Putney Bridges.
