HC Deb 09 December 1968 vol 775 cc40-1W
102 and 103. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what was the estimated cost of the major improvement to the A7 Edinburgh-Galashiels road at Fountainhall; and what is now expected to be the actual cost;

(2) when work started on the major improvement to the A7 Edinburgh-Galashiels road near Fountainhall; when it was scheduled to be completed; and when it will now be completed.

Mr. Ross

The roadworks started in February, 1967, and a bridgeworks contract was let in December, 1967, for completion in June, 1969. I now expect both operations to be completed before then. The estimated cost of the improvement was £149,500 and the actual cost is now expected to be £161,500.
