To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-1347 by Stewart Stevenson on 24 July 2007, what criteria the review by Transport Scotland considered in relation to the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route and the Aberdeen Crossrail project.
Answer
I announced the outcomeof the review of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route andthe criteria assessed in my statement to Parliament on 27 June 2007 (
Official Report Col

The Aberdeen Crossrailproject was not reviewed. The North-East of Scotland Transport Partnership is currentlycompleting feasibility work on this proposal. I understand this will be with TransportScotland by the end of summer 2007. We will then be able to decide on the futuredirection of this project.

The commissionis expected to submit its final report to the Scottish ministers later this year.We will determine how best to take forward the Scottish Law Commission’s work whenwe receive their report and draft bill.
