The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether, in light of the planned completion of the A78 three-town bypass in December 2004, the M77, Malletsheugh to Fenwick and the A876, Kincardine Eastern Link Road in March 2005, the A80 Auchenkilns Junction in September 2005 and the large proportion of early spending committed to land acquisition for the M74 Completion, it has any concerns in respect of a lack of major road construction work being available during 2005-06 to sustain Scottish road builders during a possible period of low activity.
The answer
No. We expect to spend more than £80 million in 2005-06 on road improvements across the network and in excess of£50 million on structural repairs. This is a reasonable workload for the road construction industry in Scotland.
