§ Mr. David Steelasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to announce a future motorway programme beyond the 10-year programme 1962–63 to 1972–73 already established.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe current motorway programme is due to be completed in 1975. On 13th July, I announced the addition of road schemes 147W worth £40 million to the trunk road preparation pool, and further additions will be announced from time to time. Whether particular schemes are constructed as motorways, all-purpose dual carriageways, or otherwise will depend on the expected traffic demand.
