HC Deb 15 April 1959 vol 603 c84W
71. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what will be the extra cost of constructing the south and east Oxford by-pass as a result of starting work before purchase of the necessary land was completed.

Mr. Nugent

There have been unexpected difficulties in acquiring all the land required for the Oxford western bypass, as a result of which the contractors may lodge a claim. If they so decide, the claim will be considered on its merits at the appropriate time.
