HC Deb 01 December 1977 vol 940 c386W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will give a budget estimate to date in respect of M8 motorway costs incurred on land, steel, concrete, drainage, and other major material costs;

(2) if he will give an estimate of the total tonnage of steel, concrete, and other major materials used to date on the construction of the M8 motorway; and what is the average tonnage of these materials used per mile of motorway.

Mr. McElhone

It is not practicable, without unreasonable cost, to isolate land costs or the cost and tonnage of major materials within total construction figures.
