HC Deb 03 March 1992 vol 205 c87W
Mr. Devlin

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 18 February,Official Report, column 99, what are his reasons for maintaining the high-level road bridge at Portrack.

Mr. Chope

A new crossing at a lower level is not economically justified and it would be unreasonable to divert traffic via the existing Cannon Park lifting bridge.
