§ Mr. Brewisasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in improving A9 on those sections which do not require dual-carriageways immediately, he will include the necessary earthworks for a second carriageway in view of the small extra cost compared with the substantially greater expenditure if carried out at a later stage.

This will give traffic the improved road it needs in the shortest possible time. The design of the new road will be such as to permit the provision of dual carriageway later as required. It would not be advisable to incur the substantial additional cost of earthworks at this stage at the expense of deferring other urgent schemes in the Scottish road programme.
