asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what will be the cost of installing an additional pedestrian phase in the traffic signals at the junction of Ashgill/Balmore/Hillend Road; and what would be the cost of including pedestrian phases in all four areas as Strathclyde Regional Council's roads department requested; and how long it is since this matter was first raised with his Department.

Decisions on these matters are not taken in relation to cost, but in relation to whether there is enough vehicular and pedestrian traffic for a pedestrian phase to be necessary. In December 1974 Glasgow Corporation applied for approval to pedestrian phases on all four arms of the junction. In March 1975 approval was given for a pedestrian phase on Ashgill Road. In October 1976 Strathclyde Regional Council sought approval for pedestrian phases on the other three arms and in January 1977, the provision of a pedestrian phase on the southern arm was agreed.
