HC Deb 15 February 1977 vol 926 c209W
Mr. Younger

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland on what date he expects the proposed improvements on the A929-A94 and the A972 Kingsway to be completed and fully open to traffic.

Mr. McElhone

In the case of the A929/A94 this will depend on the satisfactory completion of the statutory procedures, for making the road a trunk road. If it is not trunked in accordance with published proposals, Tayside and Grampian Regional Councils will be responsible for that route. My right hon. Friend has published proposals for the improvement of part of the A972 Kingsway but objections to them have been lodged. Until they have been resolved it is not possible to say when work will begin but my right hon. Friend would like the improvement of this route to continue as soon as possible.
