HC Deb 22 March 1995 vol 257 cc262-3W
20. Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what further discussions he has had with Borders regional council on the proposal to build a new road bridge at Kelso. [13645]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

There have been no recent discussions with Borders regional council about the proposed new bridge at Kelso. The bridge would form part of a local road and is thus a matter for the regional council as local roads authority to consider.
