§ Sir Michael Shawasked the Secretary of State for Transport what progress is being made on the A64 improvements in North Yorkshire.
§ Mrs. ChalkerDraft line and side roads orders are expected to be published for the Seamer and Crossgates bypass and for Seagglethorpe diversion in mid-1983. Provided the necessary statutory procedures are satisfactorily completed and funds are available, work is expected to start on both schemes in the mid-1980s.
In addition, the following improvements on the A64 in North Yorkshire are expected to be completed in 1983:
(a) Junction improvements
- Stoney Haggs Rise, Seamer
- Rotten Row, Seamer
- Wild Man, Tadcaster
(b) Demolition of bridge over disused railway at Malton Gates.
- Tolls (Bridges and Tunnels)
§ Mr. Nicholas Wintertonasked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the annual revenue from major toll bridges and tunnels within his responsibility; and what is the cost of administering the collection of those tolls.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe only such crossing for which my right hon. Friend is responsible is the Severn bridge. The revenue in 1981–82 from this tolled crossing was £2.746 million and the cost of collecting it was £483,000.
