Mr. Kirkwood
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is yet in a position to determine the length of time necessary to deal with the objections which have been lodged to the revised trunk road orders on the A1 Tower to Dunglass diversion.
Mr. Ancram
Ninety-seven objections have been received to the draft trunk road orders and are being considered. I cannot estimate how long they will take to resolve. It may be necessary to hold a public local inquiry later this year.
