asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has had regarding the lack of road signs on the approaches to Erskine Bridge from Ayrshire and Renfrewshire; and if he will make a statement.

Since the bridge opened in July 1971, eight individuals have written to my Department. Most of their difficulties would be met by a sign indicating the point at which, if he proceeds beyond it, a driver is bound to cross the bridge. I am seeing if the signing can be further improved.
