What this Government are doing is engaging with the Scottish Government in a discussion, and at the moment we are waiting to hear from them.
Sir Alan Beith (Berwick-upon-Tweed) (LD)
Does my right hon. Friend recognise the importance to transport links of dualling the A1, and will he continue to press the case with Scottish Ministers and colleagues in the UK Government?
David Mundell
I welcome the Chancellor’s announcement that the A1 will become a motorway to Newcastle. He made it clear, I think in response to my right hon. Friend, that the Department for Transport would look at the case for dualling the A1 to the Scottish border.
