HC Deb 25 January 1995 vol 253 cc273-4W
28. Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will approve the financial consents necessary to enable Borders regional council to build a new bridge at Kelso.

Mr. Stewart

Final decisions have not yet been made about the distribution of roads and transport capital allocations for 1995–96. The case for a new Kelso bridge will be taken into consideration, along with other proposals, in setting the levels for individual councils.
