§ Sir R. Russellasked the Minister of Transport if he will state the average cost per mile of building motorways on the surface and overhead in rural and urban areas, respectively; and how much of those totals is represented by the cost of land and property and of compensation for the disturbance of residents.
Mr. Bob BrownThe information is not available in the form requested. Costs vary so much because of differences in circumstances that average costs are likely to be meaningless.
