§ Mr. David MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to complete the installation of central crash barriers on every motorway in Scotland.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonAt present there are 145 miles of motorway in Scotland, of which 41 miles have central barriers. The existing motorway network has been constructed by successive Governments since the mid-1960s, some sections with central barriers, others without. It is our policy to provide central barriers on all new and existing motorways and this will be done as quickly as available resources permit.
