§ 88. Mr. Adam Hunterasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the heavy increase in traffic on the Fife roads leading from the Forth Road Bridge to the north and east of the county; what are his plans for improving the road system in the county; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RossI would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 18th November to the hon. Member for Fife, West (Mr. William Hamilton). The April traffic survey will help to reveal the new pattern of traffic movements north of the Forth Road Bridge. Meanwhile the line of the Cowdenbeath-Kelty Bypass is to be altered slightly to meet objections, and provided that no more are received I should be able to make the statutory Special Road Scheme shortly.
