HC Deb 01 December 1971 vol 827 c103W
Sir F. Maclean

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the average cost per mile of building motorways and category A and B roads in Scotland, respectively.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The cost per mile of trunk road motorway contracts recently completed or in progress in Scotland ranges from about £0.6 million to nearly £2 millions, depending on conditions. Information about the average cost per mile of other roads is not available, but costs are subject to very wide variation.
