§ Mr. Donald Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to improve the M8 Glasgow-Edinburgh motorway by bringing it up to three-lane standards.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellTraffic volumes on the M8 motorway between Newhouse and Newbridge do not justify reconstruction to more generous standards. I propose, however, to reconstruct the A8 between Newhouse and the Glasgow city boundary as a motorway and this will be to three-lane dual carriageway standard.
