§ 10. Mr. Wylieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a state ment on the progress of the Erskine Bridge project and the probable starting date.
§ Dr. Dickson MabonDunbarton and Renfrew County Councils have agreed with my right hon. Friend's proposal that the bridge should be built as a trunk road project; and our intention is that work should start in the financial year 1967-68. My Department is now taking over the preparatory work from the joint committee formed by the two councils.
§ Mr. WylieIs the hon. Member aware of the importance of this project to the whole trunk road problem in Renfrewshire and that it is a matter in which the people of Renfrewshire have a very great interest?
