§ 13. Mr. Crawfordasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received concerning the rerouting of the proposed M90 motorway through Glenfarg.
§ Mr. MillanSeveral representations about alternative routes were considered at a public inquiry in 1971. My right hon. Friend's predecessor confirmed the proposed line, which was then challenged unsuccessfully in the courts in November 1973. Some representations have continued for an alternative line which my right hon. Friend considers unacceptable.
§ Mr. CrawfordWill the Minister give the completion date for the Edinburgh-Perth motorway, and will the Government also bring up to standard that motorway, including the hard shoulders?
§ Mr. MillanThat is a rather different question. It is a pity that the hon. Gentleman did not table it for answer. I cannot give a date. However, I must add that if it had not been for the disputatious objections, the completion date would have been much sooner
