HC Deb 08 April 1981 vol 2 c293W
28. Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to upgrade the stretch of the A8 trunk road, Glasgow to Edinburgh, fronting the towns of Coatbridge and Airdrie, to motorway standards; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

Preparatory work on this scheme is in the early stages, but I cannot at present forecast when resources will permit work to start.
