§ Mr. David Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his policy in regard to fitting hard shoulders as distinct from hard verges on trunk roads.
§ Mr. AncramIt is not my right hon. and learned Friend's policy to provide hard shoulders on trunk roads other than motorways. It is becoming standard practice, however, to provide 1 m wide hard strips along the edges of new and improved single and dual carriageway trunk roads.
