HC Deb 21 June 1971 vol 819 cc198-9W
Mr. Michael Cocks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) whether the estimated cost of the land acquisition, road widening and pedestrian underpass in Upper Maudlin Street, Bristol, was included in the estimated cost of the new radiotherapy and out-patient and casualty departments;

(2) what is the estimated cost of the land acquisition, road widening and pedestrian underpass in Upper Maudlin Street, Bristol, to serve the new hospital buildings.

Mr. Alison

The land acquisition costs for the new out-patient and accident and emergency departments and the new radiotherapy centre were approximately £80,000. These costs were not included in the estimated costs given in my replies to the hon. Member's previous Questions. The cost of the road widening and pedestrian underpass in Upper Maudlin Street will be borne by the local authority.
