§ Lord APSLEYasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the proposal of a private group to build a new bridge over the River Severn at a cost of £250,000 and to recoup the cost by means of charging tolls thereon; whether it is the policy of the Ministry of Transport to permit a gradual reversion to toll bridges; and whether he is satisfied that the proposal is in accordance with the recommenda- 998W tions in this connection made by the Royal Commission on Transport?
§ Mr. PYBUSI have seen no particulars other than those appearing in the Press, and I should, therefore, not he justified at this stage in expressing an opinion upon the project.
