§ 36. Sir F. Markhamasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the estimated costs for the Loughton and Markyate by-passes on the A.5 road in 1953; the latest estimates; and on whose authority changes have been made which may increase the cost of these by-passes.
§ Mr. MolsonThe estimated cost of the Loughton by-pass in 1953 was £130,000. The latest estimate is only about £87,000 in spite of a proposal to add slip roads provisionally authorised by my right hon. Friend.
The estimated cost of the Markyate by-pass in 1953 was £175,000. A later detailed estimate is not yet available. No changes are proposed which are likely to increase the cost.
