HC Deb 26 October 1955 vol 545 cc28-9W
85. Sir I. Clark Hutchison

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware of the narrowness and poor surface of long stretches of the Great North Road, A9 and A90, between North Queensferry and Inverness; and if, in view of the heavy volume of traffic using this trunk road, he will take immediate steps to improve its condition.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Much of this road is too narrow and part of it has a bad surface owing to mining subsidence. I am authorising this year four improvement schemes of a total cost of £134,000 on A9 in Perthshire on major improvements. In addition work will be done on surfaces under provision for maintenance and minor improvements.
