§ Mr. Spenceasked the Secretary of State for Transport what was the cost of the York bypass, the estimated cost of the Tadcaster bypass and the projected cost of the Malton and Seamer bypasses; and when he expects the Malton bypass to commence.
§ Mr. HoramThe total cost of the York outer bypass is expected to be approximately £13.34 million; it is not possible to give an exact figure until final accounts are settled. The estimated costs of the Tadcaster, Malton, and Seamer and Crossgates bypasses are £7.84 million, £7.3 million and about £2.35 million respectively. My right hon. Friend hopes to make a statement very soon on the timing of future road schemes in the light of the recent cuts in public expenditure.
