§ 99. Mr. G. Campbellasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage in value of the Scottish road projects, which were due to be started in the six months from August, 1965, to January, 1966, is being deferred, including the trunk road schemes.
§ Mr. RossThe percentage of trunk road schemes due to start in 1965–66, and of classified road schemes authorised for the same period which is being deferred, is 3.4 per cent. I regret that I cannot give a comparable figure for the six-month period requested by the hon. Member because local authorities do not report to me their planned starting dates for the classified road schemes on which grant has been authorised.
