Asked by: John Cooper (Conservative - Dumfries and Galloway)

Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what recent progress his Department has made with the Scottish Government on upgrading the A75.

Answered by Ian Murray - Secretary of State for Scotland

The previous Government publicly committed to providing £8m in development funding to complete a detailed feasibility study for specific upgrades to the A75 and to fund targeted improvements identified by the study, subject to the Scottish Government’s business cases at various stages throughout the process. We recognise the importance of this project to communities in Southwest Scotland and remain in regular contact with DFT on it.
