§ Mr. John Grantasked the Secretary of State for Transport what has been the cost to public funds to date of inquiries into the Archway road proposals; and what additional cost to public funds he estimates will result from the further public inquiry into the scheme which is pending.
§ Mrs. Chalker£135,000. It is not possible to estimate realistically the cost of the forthcoming inquiry since the duration of the inquiry is dependent on factors outside the control of my Department.
