§ 25. Sir Hector Monroasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the places and the timetable for major improvements and bypasses on the A75 from Gretna to Stranraer.
§ Mr. YoungerThe timetable for all major improvements and bypasses is being reviewed to ensure that generally those schemes that will yield the best economic returns are undertaken first. The Carsluith diversion has now begun, and I expect work to start on the Collin and Gatehouse of Fleet schemes in the next financial year. I shall write to my hon. Friend about the subsequent A75 schemes when our programme revision is complete.
