HC Deb 28 October 1982 vol 29 c531W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total mileage of trunk roads in Scotland; and what is his best estimate of the rural mileage which is unfenced.

Mr. Allan Stewart

There were 1,981 miles of trunk roads, including motorways and related slip roads, in Scotland as at 1 April 1982. My right hon. Friend's responsibilities for fencing roads apply only to motorways. Information about unfenced lengths of rural road is not therefore held centrally and could be assembled only at disproportionate cost.
