§ Mr. McQuarrieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether there will be any cut-back of the road improvements in East Aberdeenshire as a result of Her Majesty's Government's proposed public expenditure cuts.
§ Mr. RifkindThe trunk road programme will have to take a share of the expenditure cuts. Their application in detail is not yet certain. The priority which Grampian regional council attaches to its road schemes within the capital allocation for 1980–81 of £6.9 million will be determined by the council.
