§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give details of the routes of the A727 and the A726; if he will specify how those roads, and the designation of those roads, has been altered since 1975; and if he will make a statement.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe A726 is a principal road and runs from Strathaven to Erskine bridge. The A727 which ran from Clarkston to Cathcart is no longer a classified route. In 1980 part of this route was declassified and the remainder was reclassified A730, B766, B768, B762 and B767.
The responsibility for these roads lies with the local roads authority, Strathclyde regional council, and the information regarding alterations to these roads is not held by central Government.
