I certainly agree with my hon. Friend that it is indeed good for the Highlands to see at last a complete and major reconstruction of this vital road. I can confirm that it will be built to the most excellent modern standards, ironing out all the bad bends and bad gradients which have caused so much difficulty so far. I am afraid that my mental arithmetic is not quite so agile as my hon. Friend's but his calculation of the cost per mile is probably very nearly correct.
