HC Deb 21 May 1971 vol 817 cc376-7W
Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has now received all the financial and technical information from the Humber Bridge Board that is needed by him, before he makes his final decision regarding the starting date in 1972 for building the Humber Bridge; and if he will announce this date in the near future, to allay public concern upon Humberside.

Mr. Graham Page

I am considering the information provided by the Board and will give a decision as soon as possible. I am conscious of the concern felt locally, but the matter is not simple and I cannot commit myself to asking no further questions.
