HC Deb 18 December 1963 vol 686 cc217-8W
69. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a White Paper setting out details of all the motorways, trunk and classified roads to be built under his road programme for the period up to 1968–69.

Mr. Noble

Below is a list of the schemes estimated to cost over £100,000 which have been provisionally selected for authorisation by 1968–69. As regards schemes for classified roads it is not complete, because further discussions must take place with local authorities in central Scotland about additional schemes arising out of the recent White Paper; and we have still to complete discussions with the highland local authorities about the next five years of the crofter counties programme.
