HC Deb 14 July 1997 vol 298 c65W
Mr. Home Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the average and maximum number of weekly lorry movements on the A1 road in East Lothian expected to be generated by the use of the new landfill facility at Oxwell Mains for rubbish from Edinburgh. [7698]

Mr. Chisholm

The waste from Edinburgh will be transported to the Oxwell Mains landfill site by rail. Only in emergency situations, to be agreed by East Lothian Council, would the A1 trunk road be used for this purpose.
