HC Deb 29 June 1984 vol 62 cc549-50W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when work will be completed to construct further toll booths on the entrance to the Dartford tunnel; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

Mrs. Chalker

I understand that the joint committee expects the new booths to be largely complete in June next year. This should increase the tunnel's present capacity from 60,000 to about 100,000 vehicles a day.
