§ Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what consideration he has given to the application by Airdrie Town Council for approval of the Airdrie transportation study and highway development programme, the cost of the works involved, the extent of Government grant and the starting date of the project.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI am considering whether to offer 75 per cent. grant on the council's proposals, arising from the study, for the southern flank of the town centre inner ring road and the southern expressway. Decisions should be possible shortly, when conclusions have been reached on relevant recommendations of the Greater Glasgow Transportation Study.
