I say to the member that there has been considerable investment along the A77, as he well knows. He talked about the longer timeframe, but that has already happened, and investment can continue to happen.

It is not the Scottish Government’s responsibility that the UK Government decided on a union connectivity review. It demonstrated that, on the A75, most of the benefits would fall outside Scotland, because the A75 is the connection to Northern Ireland.

It is not my responsibility that the UK Government wants to do the Scottish transport appraisal guidance exercise. I am pleased that it has undertaken to do that. I just need formal recognition.

Work has been undertaken on the A75 and particularly the A77, with the Haggstone climbing lane, the new carriageway at Glen App, the Park End to Bennane project, the Symington and Bogend Toll project and the Maybole bypass. That bypass is a considerable improvement to the road. For the member not to recognise that does his constituents a disservice.
