HC Deb 11 December 1950 vol 482 c99W
9. Colonel Ropner

asked the Minister of Transport what progress his Department has made since March of this year in connection with the purchase of the toll rights of Selby Toll Bridge; and whether he will make a statement concerning the future of the bridge.

Mr. Barnes

No progress can be made until I can hold out to the owners a definite hope of acquiring the toll rights fairly soon. I cannot do this so long as the present need for economy continues.

Mr. Barnes

A contract for this work has now been let.
