HC Deb 02 June 1965 vol 713 c226W
87. Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Transport what would be the cost of erecting a temporary bridge across the River Severn at Worcester in order to relieve the traffic congestion at the permanent bridge.

Mr. Tom Fraser

It is not practicable to give a worthwhile estimate of the cost of such a bridge without information about its siting and the means of access to it. In any event any such proposal would be a matter in the first instance for the Worcester County Borough Council as the responsible highway authority.
