Humber Bridge

HC Deb 29 June 1966 vol 730 cc284-5W

55. Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Transport if she will make a statement about the proposed Humber Bridge.

Mr. Swingler

On 15th June my right hon. Friend met representatives of the Humber Bridge Board, the East Riding County Council and other local authorities in Humberside. They asked her to modify the announced proposals for a trunk road network east of the Great North Road to Hull and Humberside so as to include the Humber Bridge. The detailed and technical arguments in support of that request are being examined by her officials in consultation with the bodies concerned. When that is complete she will make a statement.
