§ 24. Mr. SwinneyTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to conclude the strategic review of the trunk road network; and if he will make a statement. [37638]
§ Mr. McLeishWe intend to issue a consultation document on a revised appraisal framework for assessing future expenditure on the trunk road network shortly after the publication of the Scottish Integrated Transport White Paper. Investment decisions will be based on the criteria of integration, accessibility, economy, safety and environmental impact. The Review will be completed once responses to the consultation document have been considered in the autumn.
