§ Mr. David MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to publish the results of the Roads Review in Scotland; and if he will make a statement. [70266]
§ Mr. MacdonaldThe consultation period on the Government's proposed framework for the appraisal of trunk road investment in Scotland ended on 16 October 1998. The responses have now been analysed and some useful suggestions from respondents incorporated into the appraisal framework. We are now considering the best way forward and the outcome of the review will be announced as soon as is practicable.
From 1 July 1999, this will be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.
