§ Mr. Jim Spicerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the cost of a standard layby constructed on a trunk road.
§ Mr. HoramI have been asked to reply.
The estimated cost of a standard layby constructed on a dual carriageway or a single three-lane trunk road is in the range of £5,000 to £6,000 when constructed with the carriageway. When constructed on an existing road, the estimated cost is in the range of £8,000 to £10,000.
