§ Mr. Menzies CampbellTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement about the Auchtermuchty bypass.
§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton[holding answer 11 July 1991]: I will be writing to the hon. Member very shortly in reply to his letter on this subject. I can state however that completion of the final elements of the necessary preparatory work on this scheme will be undertaken only when there is a reasonable prospect of early funding being available. The present indications are that this is unlikely to be the case within the next five years.
