Roads (Hansard, 19 July 1967)

§ Mr. Eadie
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many roads in the county of Midlothian he has selected for having a 50 miles per hour weekend speed limit.

§ Mr. Ross
Three, with a total length of about 14 miles: a stretch of the A1, another of the A8, and several of the A68.

§ Mr. Russell Johnston
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what he estimates to be the approximate cost of completing all outstanding township roads within the area of the seven crofting 268W counties; and if he will make an estimate of the cost within each county separately.

§ Mr. Ross
Estimates by the county councils concerned suggest that the outstanding schemes in their areas would cost about £4 million to complete (at current prices). The component figures, by county, are:
