HC Deb 20 November 1962 vol 667 cc125-6W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Transport what was the total amount spent, and the cost per acre, in acquiring land for motorways or trunk roads in urban areas and in rural districts during 1959, 1960, and 1961, respectively.

Mr. Marples

The total amounts spent on acquiring motorway and trunk road land in England and Wades have been:

  • £1,309,586 in 1959
  • £1,622,384 in 1960
  • £1,875,977 in 1961
I could not give the cost per acre and a division between urban areas and rural districts without a disproportionate expenditure of time and labour.
