HC Deb 15 December 1965 vol 722 cc289-90W
Mr. McInnes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the estimated cost given by Glasgow Corporation for the construction of the Clyde Tunnel, excluding fees paid to the consulting engineers.

Mr. Ross

There have been various estimates since 1947 when the Corporation obtained powers to build this tunnel. When work started the estimated cost, based on the successful tender, was £9,886,000 excluding the fees and expenses of consulting engineers which were then estimated at £287,000.
