HC Deb 02 December 1996 vol 286 c561W
Mr. Donohoe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects work to start on the Ardrossan, Saltcoats and Stevenston bypass. [6408]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 29 November 1996]Progress on the project will depend on public reaction to the draft statutory orders recently published and a draft compulsory purchase order which is being prepared for publication next year, and thereafter on the relative priority of the scheme against completing demands for available resources.
