HC Deb 26 June 1963 vol 679 cc143-4W
49. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will indicate the stages over which in the next eight years it is intended to provide dual carriageways on the Glasgow-Greenock section of the trunk road A.8.

Mr. Noble

The Renfrew and Paisley bypass, which I hope to authorise before 1967, will replace 5¼ miles of the present trunk road. The remaining 7½ miles to Port Glasgow boundary, including a bypass of Bishopton, will probably be dealt with in two schemes, but I cannot yet say when these will be authorised.
