HC Deb 31 October 1988 vol 139 cc506-7W
Mr. Norman Hogg

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has yet determined the line of the M80 motorway between Stepps and Haggs; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Following a draft feasibility report by consulting engineers in April 1987 further investigative work was commissioned, including ground and aerial surveys and an update of the traffic study. A report of the findings is due in summer 1989 and it is anticipated that a decision on a preferred route will be made shortly thereafter.
