HC Deb 05 June 1980 vol 985 c804W
Mr. Lang

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to make a statement on roads policy in Scotland.

Mr. Younger

A statement setting out the Government's policy on roads in Scotland has been lodged today in the Library of the House. It highlights the need for new roads to be conceived in their wider planning and environmental context and calls for greater attention to be given to the selection of priorities, and in particular to solving the worst problems of congestion, environmental damage and poor existing roads.
