HC Deb 27 April 1987 vol 115 cc44-5W
Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the expected completion date for the improvement programme for the Baillieston to Newhouse section of the M8 motorway; and what are the anticipated total costs.

Mr. Ancram

The current programme assumes a works start in 1990 (subject to the satisfactory conclusion of statutory procedures and the availability of finance), with completion expected in 1993. Total cost of the scheme is estimated to be about £30 million.
