The hon. Gentleman has got it wrong. The bridge on the private estate, about which I gave the House a satisfactory answer the other day, was not built by the Royal Engineers. The Royal Engineers welcome opportunities to carry out civil engineering projects when these provide good training, but this project is not suitable.
On the general question, the hon. Gentleman and his hon. Friends tried to persuade the House the other day of the desirability of the principle of nationalisation without compensation. My hon. Friends successfully resisted this, and we shall continue to resist it with success.
