A motion passed at the SNP conference stressed it had an 'unwavering commitment to fully dualling the A9 and A96'

A motion passed at the SNP conference stressed it had an ‘unwavering commitment to fully dualling the A9 and A96’to produce a full timetable for the upgrading of the A9, after the project was hit by delays and rising costs.he was “sick and tired” of claims by opposition parties that the SNP was no longer fully committed to the plans.

However, a revised timetable has yet to be announced, with Humza Yousaf saying last month that MSPs should expect an update on it “later this year”. “I get sick and tired listening to the Tories constantly digging this up as if they own the issue. It is us who were the first government that’s ever pledged to dual the A9 in its entirety,” he added.

SNP councillor Jérémie Fernandes also spoke in favour of the motion, telling his colleagues that it was time to “get on with it”.
