HC Deb 02 March 1966 vol 725 c288W
52. Mr. Buchan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the completion date for the Erskine Bridge; what is the total estimated cost; and if the total cost is now to be borne by the Government.

Mr. Ross

It is hoped to start the Erskine Bridge in the financial year 1967–68 and to complete it in 1970–71. The estimated cost, including that of the approaches, is £6 million, and it will be wholly met by the Government.
