HC Deb 13 June 1974 vol 874 cc619-20W
Sir P. Bryan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement on the future of the toll bridge at Selby.

Mr. Carmichael

This is a privately owned toll bridge and I cannot comment on its future. Congestion which now occurs there should be partly relieved by the completion of the M62 motorway from North Caves to the Ml at Loft-house. Further relief would be afforded by a bypass road for Selby, but I cannot forecast when a decision on this will be possible.
