HC Deb 21 June 1995 vol 262 cc320-2W
Mr. Norman Hogg

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the present position concerning the proposed construction of the M80 motorway between Stepps and Haggs; and if he will make a statement. [29749]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

In response to an earlier question I had indicated that a decision on the proposed route for the M80 would be taken soon. Because of the scale and complexity of this scheme, its substantial cost and the need to minimise its impact on the environment, further studies have been commissioned. Those are nearing completion.
