§ Mr. Craigenasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what will be the cost of installing an additional pedestrian phase in the traffic signals at the junction of Ashgill/Balmore/Hillend Road; and what would be the cost of including pedestrian phases in all four areas as Strathclyde Regional Council's roads department requested; and how long it is since this matter was first raised with his Department.

§ Mr. McElhoneDecisions on these matters are not taken in relation to cost, but in relation to whether there is enough vehicular and pedestrian traffic for a pedestrian phase to be necessary. In December 1974 Glasgow Corporation applied for approval to pedestrian phases on all four arms of the junction. In March 1975 approval was given for a pedestrian phase on Ashgill Road. In October 1976 Strathclyde Regional Council sought approval for pedestrian phases on the other three arms and in January 1977, the provision of a pedestrian phase on the southern arm was agreed.
