Treasury minister Reynolds struggles over Lower Thames Crossing answers
She also mistakenly referred to the existing crossing being the 'Dartmouth tunnel', apparently confusing the Devon town with Dartford, the location of the crossings for traffic across the Thames.
'I meant Dartford, excuse me, I had a very early morning,' the minister told LBC Radio.
Asked about the proposed new crossing's location, she said: 'You'll forgive me, I can't recall the landing zone.'
The crossing will involve two tunnels under the Thames to the east of Tilbury in Essex and Gravesend in Kent.
Pressed on the cost, she said 'it's going to cost quite a lot of money', suggesting it would be 'several billion pounds'.
LBC Radio presenter Nick Ferrari told Ms Reynolds: 'Is there much point continuing this conversation because you don't know where a bridge starts, where it ends and you don't know how much it costs?'
National Highways has estimated the cost will be between £9.2 billion and £10.2 billion depending on the funding model chosen.
It would connect the A2 and M2 in Kent to the A13 and M25 in Essex via a 2.6-mile tunnel under the Thames, which would be the UK's longest road tunnel.
The funding for the Lower Thames Crossing will be part of the Government's 10-year plan for infrastructure.
A new structures fund will also invest in repairing bridges, flyovers, tunnels and other transport infrastructure such as roads.
The Lower Thames Crossing is aimed at reducing congestion at Dartford.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has said that the project is 'essential for improving the resilience of a key freight route and is critical to our long-term trade with Europe'.
'It will speed up the movement of goods from south-east England to the Midlands and the north, crucial to thousands of jobs and businesses,' she added.
Rachel Reeves has said ministers are 'going all in by going up against the painful disruption of closed bridges, crossings and flyovers'.
The Chancellor added: 'This is a turning point for our national infrastructure, and we're backing it with funding to support thousands of jobs and connect communities, delivering on our plan for change.'
It comes ahead of the Government's infrastructure strategy, expected this week, while public procurement rules are set to be overhauled so that public bodies will have to give more weight to firms which can prove they will boost British jobs when they are bidding for contracts.
The Chancellor outlined a range of infrastructure investments as part of last week's spending review.

Wimbledon fans fume over 'greed' as they count cost of pint of Stella and sushi
Wimbledon has served up more than just thrilling tennis on opening day - with fans left reeling at the cost of refreshments around the All-England Club Wimbledon has delivered more than just exciting tennis on its opening day - with spectators left stunned by the sky-high prices of snacks and drinks across the venue. A whopping crowd of 42,756 fans streamed through the gates on Monday to witness a historic day, as seven British players progressed through the first round - a record in the Open era. However, while supporters filled Centre Court, Court One, and Henman Hill to watch the action, many were shocked at the cost of refreshments. At 'The Hill Larder', fans can indulge in sweets like Haribo, Skittles and the iconic strawberries and cream - but not without reaching deep into their pockets. Tennis snack and drink inflation A pack of Galaxy Minstrels has seen a more modest rise from £3.50 to £4.40, while Jude's Ice Cream Tubs, Divine chocolate bars and cookies are also available, priced at £4.50, £2.30 and £3.15 respectively, reports the Express. Those who prefer savoury aren't spared either. A sausage roll costs £5.10, while Mac & Cheese Bites and a Cornish pasty are priced at £6.80. Sushi enthusiasts can indulge - if they're willing to fork out up to £15.10 for a Grand Slam Sushi Selection. Even Wimbledon's beloved strawberries haven't dodged the price hike. After proudly holding prices steady for over a decade, the All England Club has quietly increased the cost to £2.70 - a 20p increase on last year. With 140,000 punnets sold annually, this small change is expected to rake in an extra £28,000. Best value food However, it's the price of drinks that's sparking the most outrage among spectators. A 300ml bottle of Stella Artois, which is the official beer of the event, is going for a hefty £7.50, with the alcohol-free variant slightly less expensive at £6.90. But punters looking for a full pint will have to part with £8.85, a jump from £7.55 in 2023 and £8.50 last year. One dismayed fan was quick to criticise the pricing, stating: "Stella is one of the cheapest beers you can buy at trade prices these days. Which explains why Wimbledon are charging £8.85 a pint and even charging 40p more than Guinness! ! It's nothing to do with profit margins. That's just pure greed." When it comes to wine and spirits, the situation doesn't get any better. A modest 187ml glass of white, red, or rosé will hit your wallet for £10.20, the same price as a Sipsmith gin and tonic. For those willing to splash out, a whole bottle of wine is tagged at £49.60, while champagne aficionados might gulp at the £96 charge. For something non-alcoholic, a beverage like Coke or Sprite is £2.75, and those wanting a large bottle of Evian - the championship's official water - will fork out £5. However, fans can take some solace in the numerous free water refill stations dotted around SW19. While the tennis action provides its share of surprises, the exorbitant food and drink bill might be serving up the biggest shockers of all.

Upgrading National Grid to Power AI Future Tackled at AI Energy Council
The energy demands to drive the processing power needed for new waves of AI breakthroughs and the future energy needs of the wider AI sector were on the agenda as the AI Energy Council gathered for its second meeting. With energy providers, tech companies, energy regulator Ofgem and the National Energy System Operator (NESO) in attendance, the meeting discussed how to work together to forecast how much energy will be needed to deliver a twenty-fold increase in compute capacity over the next five years. Compute represents the key building block of AI development. It captures the vital resources which make AI models work, such as the processing power which allows them to be trained on data and process information. By increasing the UK's capacity, it will give scientists and AI companies from across the UK access to the systems they need for their cutting-edge research – making the next big breakthrough from personalised medical treatments, more sustainable air travel, or developing new tools in the fight against climate change. The meeting also covered which sectors are likely to quickly adopt AI and how this could drive significant shifts in energy demand. Discussions will focus on what assumptions need to be made to accurately forecast that demand, ensuring the energy system is prepared for AI. The meeting was chaired by the Technology and Energy Secretaries, and followed the UK Government announcing £2 billion to deliver the AI Opportunities Action Plan. Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Technology, Peter Kyle said: 'Giving our researchers and innovators access to the processing power they need will not only maintain our standing as the world's third-biggest AI power, but put British expertise at the heart of the AI breakthroughs which will improve our lives, modernise our public services, and spark the economic growth which is the cornerstone of our Plan for Change. 'We are clear-eyed though on the need to make sure we can power this golden era for British AI through responsible, sustainable energy sources. Today's talks will help us drive forward that mission, delivering AI infrastructure which will benefit communities up and down the country for generations to come without ever compromising on our clean energy superpower ambitions.' Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband, said: 'We are making the UK a clean energy superpower, building the homegrown energy this country needs to get bills down for good and create new jobs as part of our Plan for Change. 'Bringing together the biggest players in AI and energy will help us discuss the role AI can play an important role in building a new era of clean electricity for our country, and meeting the power demands of new technology as we build a clean power system for families and businesses.' The meeting considered the future energy needs of the AI sector more widely, as the UK Government also continues to move forward with its plans to roll out AI Growth Zones across the country.
