A Perthshire politician involved in a horror crash on the notorious A9 over 30 years ago is calling for a parliamentary inquiry into the lack of progress on the road’s major dualling project.
Conservative Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Murdo Fraser was speaking after he and most of his party voted against a motion by SNP transport minister Jenny Gilruth to set out a revised timescale for completion of the £3 billion programme.
The Scottish Government has said it cannot guarantee to meet its promise to dual 70 miles of the A9 between Perth and Inverness by 2025.
