§ Mr. Maclennanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the current proposed starting date for the construction of the new Dunbeath bridge scheme on the A9 trunk road in Caithness; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. AncramI expect the construction of the Dunbeath scheme to begin in late summer 1987. However, this depends on resolving two outstanding objections to the draft road orders and any objections to the draft compulsory purchase order which was published recently.
