§ Mr. David Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the results of the Scottish road maintenance condition survey.
§ Mr. AncramComprehensive information is maintained by my Department for trunk roads and motorways only, using a system which identifies lengths of road with defects requiring treatment. The aggregate results for recent years are set out:
Lengths of trunk road and motorway requiring treatment (kms) 1980 278 1981 301 1982 291 1983 315 1984 360 A number of regional and islands councils, under the auspices of the Scottish branch of the County Surveyors' Society, co-operate in producing a separate roads condition survey for their own needs. I do not have the results at my disposal.
