Severn Bridge

HC Deb 03 November 1975 vol 899 cc75-6W

Mr. Crawford

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment by what date he expects the capital costs and interest charges on the Severn Bridge to be paid off.

Dr. Gilbert

I expect that all the capital costs and interest charges on the Severn Bridge will be recovered by the year 2006—40 years from the date of opening—in accordance with the Severn Bridge Tolls Act 1965.
