To ask the Scottish Executive how much money has been allocated for improvements to trunk roads during this parliamentary session.
Answer
The allocation for the trunk roads network, including investment in new construction, improvements and routine maintenance, is £774 million between 1999 and 2003. This does not include capital charges and other adjustments made as a result of the introduction of resource accounting and budgeting from April 2001.
