HC Deb 21 November 1972 vol 846 cc385-6W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what date he has fixed for the completion of a continuous dual carriageway or motorway between Aberdeen and the Central Belt of Scotland.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

While substantial lengths of motorway and dual carriageway are already completed or in preparation on this route traffic volumes do not at present justify such provision over the entire length. My policy is to improve the route to the standards which are required as rapidly as statutory and construction procedures allow.
