HC Deb 31 March 1976 vol 908 c499W
Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether improvements to the Aberdeen-Ellan-Peterhead-Fraserburgh road qualify for special assistance as oil-related.

Mr. William Ross

As this is a trunk road, expenditure on improvements is met wholly from central Government funds, and there is no additional local authority expenditure to qualify for special assistance.

Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many accidents have occurred on the Aberdeen-Ellan-Peterhead-Fraserburgh road in each of the last five years; and if he will give figures divided into the following categories: fatal, serious and minor.

Mr. William Ross

The information is as follows:

Fatal Serious Slight Total
1971 … 4 29 65 98
1972 … 6 34 65 105
1973 … 6 47 60 113
1974 … 5 48 65 118
1975 … 6 34 69 109
