§ Mr. McKelveyTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if there is to be a public inquiry into the upgrading of the A77 from Fenwick to Malletsheugh; and if he will make a statement. [25246]
§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton[holding answer 22 May 1995]: There are a number of objections to the order published for the scheme and negotiations are continuing to see whether these can be resolved by agreement. A decision on whether a public local inquiry will be required will be taken later this summer.
