§ Mr. Tam Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on his plans for accident prevention on the Broxbourn-Whitburn stretch of the A8.
§ Mr. RossThe considerable improvements already made to this section of A8 are reflected in the reduction of the injury accident rate from 2.5 per million vehicle miles in 1954 to 1.53 in 1965. A junction improvement at Livingston Station Road is now in hand; I am considering the provision of a roundabout at Boghead Crossroads; and the whole stretch will be replaced by a motorway within five years.
