§ 57 and 58. Mr. Jegerasked the Minister of Transport (1) whether the conditions attached to the competition for a design for the new Calder Bridge, near Wakefield, included a stipulation that no prize need be awarded in the event of no suitable design being submitted;
(2) what payments of prize money have been made in respect of designs for the new Calder Bridge, near Wakefield.
§ Mr. GalbraithAs my right hon. Friend told the hon. Member on 15th January, a prize of £5,000 was to be awarded to the design placed first by the judges. Further prizes up to a total 61W of £3,000 could be awarded at their discretion. In the event two designs shared the major prize and two supplementary prizes of £1,000 each were awarded, making a total award of £7,000. There was no stipulation that no prize needed to be awarded. This is common practice in this kind of competition.
