HC Deb 04 July 1996 vol 280 cc489-90W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what level of delay in the completion of the M5 link road with the second Severn crossing will trigger penalty clauses against the contractors. [35676]

Mr. Watts

Any delay in substantial completion of the M49, which links the M5 to the second Severn crossing, beyond the contract completion date would render the contractor liable for a sum based on liquidated damages.
