§ Rear-Admiral Morgan-Gilesasked the Secretary of State for Transport what has been the approximate total cost to public funds of the current inquiry in Winchester concerning the M3 motorway, including the costs incurred by local authorities.
§ Mr. HoramI regret that I am unable to say what costs have been incurred by local authorities in connection with this inquiry, and that the detailed information required to estimate the costs incurred by the Crown is not readily available. It would require a disproportionate amount of work to obtain.
