HC Deb 29 January 1968 vol 757 cc224-5W
Mr. R. Carr

asked the Minister of Transport how the construction cost per mile of new underground railway compares with that for urban motorway.

Mr. Swingler

Comparison is difficult because costs vary widely with local circumstances. The current projects for the Brixton extension and the Hendon urban motorway cost respectively about £4,000,000 and about £3,000,000 per mile. But nearer the centre of London motorways in particular will cost much more.
