§ Mr. BeithTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many times the A1 south of Scremerston has been resurfaced in the course of the road works carried out there over the last year; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChopeThe road improvement south of Scremerston widened the existing carriageway by 2m to bring the section of the Al up to current design standards for a single carriageway road. Work commenced in September last year and was substantially completed in December. The contractor returned to the site in May to replace an area of surfacing that did not comply with the specification.
