HC Deb 22 December 1981 vol 15 c346W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to bring up to motorway standard the section of the A8 Glasgow to Edinburgh road fronting the towns of Coatbridge and Airdrie; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to him on 8 April 1981. Preparatory work is continuing but I cannot forecast when it will be possible for construction work to start. [Vol. 2, c.292.]
