Mr. Crawford

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects that part of the M90 bypassing Glenfarg to be completed.

Mr. McElhone

By the end of 1980.

Mr. Crawford

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects work to restart on the construction of hard shoulders on those parts of the M90 which do not have hard shoulders at present; and what is his estimate of the cost of this work.

Mr. McElhone

14.2 miles of M90 are at present without hard shoulders. Work will start in late summer on the provision of hard shoulders on 7.6 miles at a cost of £1.7 million. The remaining 6.6 miles have laybys at 1-mile intervals and 1 metre hard strips.
