HC Deb 02 April 1969 vol 781 cc105-6W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received concerning the designation as trunk roads of the approach roads to the Forth Road Bridge; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Ross

Hon. Members and the local authorities concerned have made representations to this effect over a period of years. The answers given have been that the approach roads cannot be trunked in isolation from the bridge itself, and that the trunking of the bridge raises complex issues, including the need for legislation.
