§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the expected opening dates of those stages of the M4 motorway presently under construction between Stanton St. Quenton and Holyport.
§ Mr. Graham PageThe length between Stanton St. Quintin and Liddington is expected to be opened in the late autumn. Every effort is being made by the contractors to complete the remaining length from Liddington to Holyport by the end of the year.
§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the cost 228W of widening the M4 motorway between Slough, East, and Holyport; how long is the contractual period for the work; how many men are, or will have been, employed on the job; and what is the total contract value in terms of labour and materials.
§ Mr. Graham PageAbout £2.4 million, over a contract period of two years, and an additional £0.3 million for ancillary works. Practically all of these amounts are attributable to labour and materials. The contractor employs on average 100 men per day on the site. In addition there are at times some employees of sub-contractors.
