§ Mr. David Steelasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the future improvements he plans to make to the A68 trunk road following the recommendations of the Johnson-Marshall Plan for the Borders; and what the cost of such improvements will be.
§ Mr. RossI accept the recommendation in the Central Borders Plan that major improvements should be made to the A68. Some works are already in progress and others are being planned, but I cannot yet make a comprehensive statement.
