§ Mr. Monroasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied that the minimum inconvenience is being caused to motorists on the A74 by road works and single carriageway working; and if he will ensure that both carriageways are clear during the Glasgow Fair holiday period.
§ Mr. McElhoneYes; but improvements—for which the hon. Member and others have pressed—cannot be carried out without some inconvenience. During the Fair, no major works are due to be in progress, and any other measures should be kept to the minimum required for safety and necessary maintenance avoiding in particular the weekends.
