HC Deb 24 May 1973 vol 857 cc155-6W
Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the total value

Mr. David Howell

The following is the information requested:

of trunk and principal road schemes, respectively, firmly programmed as at 31st March last.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

On 31st March 1973 the total value of trunk road schemes costing more than £250,000 which were firmly programmed was £73 million. The comparable figure for principal roads was £63 million.

Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list those trunk and principal road schemes costing over £250,000 giving the estimated cost of each, which were added to the forward road programme during the six months ended 31st March last.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The following schemes were added to the firm programme of major trunk road schemes in Scotland during the six months ended 31st March 1973:

Total Estimated Cost (£ million)
A9 Slochd-Dalmagarry, Inverness-shire 3.7
A9 Drumochter, Lodge-Crubenmore, Inverness-shire 2.4

No schemes were added to the firm programme of principal road schemes during this period.

Assessment of preparation pool schemes is continuing, and I expect shortly to number further additions to the firm programmes.
