I know of the hon. Gentleman's very strong interests. As he knows, my right hon. Friend recently announced that further studies were being made. I would say only that we accept that the Dornoch bridge is a desirable project which will have its place in the programme. But I do not think anyone can accuse the present Government of being niggardly with money for the A9. It is a massive scheme which those in the Highlands have wanted for a long time, and I hope they will feel that it is all worth while.
