HC Deb 12 June 1986 vol 99 cc249-50W
Mr. Coombs

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to announce the name of the successful bidder for the project to provide a new crossing of the River Thames at Dartford for M25 traffic; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Mitchell

My right hon. Friend and I are carefully examining the bids submitted by promoters on 31 May. My right hon. Friend will announce the result as soon as possible; hopefully by the end of July.
