HC Deb 15 December 1992 vol 216 cc169-70W
Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will place a copy of the Skye bridge toll concession agreement in the Library.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 14 December 1992]: The development agreement regulates the design and construction of the scheme and the concession agreement regulates the operation and maintenance thereafter. These are commercial agreements and as such are confidential. However, certain key provisions of the agreements are required to be made public under provisions in the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. These were published in an assignation statement at the time of publication of draft orders for the scheme. My right hon. Friend has arranged for a copy of the published assignation statement to be placed in the Library.
