Cumnock Bypass

HC Deb 25 January 1973 vol 849 c231W

Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to be able to sanction expenditure for the Cumnock bypass.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

This scheme was among those added to the trunk road preparation pool last September. Preliminary design work has begun but has not advanced far enough to allow the scheme to be costed and given a firm place in the programme.
