HL Deb 10 November 1987 vol 489 cc1363-4WA
The Earl of Lauderdale

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they expect dualling of the A.1 London-Thurso bypass south of Edinburgh to be completed.

The Minister of State, Scottish Office (Lord Sanderson of Bowden)

There are no plans for the continuous dualling of the A.1 trunk road between Edinburgh and the Border. Traffic volumes are not sufficient to justify this.
