§ 48. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Transport the estimated sum to be received from tolls for the first year after the opening of the Dartford-Purfleet Tunnel; and the estimated cost of collecting them and the number of staff to be employed for this purpose, together with the cost of operation of the ferry in 1959 and income received.
§ Mr. HayThe level of the tolls and the method of collection have not yet been settled, so that estimates of revenue, cost and staff cannot yet be given.
I have no information about the cost of operating the Tilbury-Gravesend Ferry or of the income.
