HC Deb 12 May 1969 vol 783 cc158-9W
63. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now make a statement about the financing of the Humber Bridge; and whether the cost is to be met out of tolls.

Mr. Bob Brown

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs announced on 30th April, it is intended that the bridge will be financed by loan, to be repaid from toll revenue. The details of this arrangement will be discussed with the Humber Bridge Board.—[Vol. 782, c. 1437–1442.]
