§ Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects completion of that part of the M8 motorway which will allow the A9 to be closed so that work can be begun on a new runway at Turnhouse Airport.
§ Mr. RossOn present plans the New-bridge to Lathallan section of the M9 motorway should be opened to traffic early in 1972. It would then be possible to cut the A9 near Turnhouse, but I understand that this timing would not preclude an earlier start on construction of a new runway.
