HC Deb 29 June 1987 vol 118 cc33-4W
23. Dr. Twinn

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many people will be employed on the construction of the Dartford bridge.

Mr. Channon

The new bridge between Thurrock and Dartford will generate about 5,000 man years work. Over half the work will be in steel and steel fabrication jobs in Scotland and the north-east. The Bill to authorise construction was reintroduced on Friday last.
