12. Mr. PONSONBYasked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty have yet expressed their opinion on the draft town-planning scheme for the Rosyth area submitted to them by the Dunfermline Town Council?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe Admiralty have the scheme under their consideration, but they are not yet able to express their opinion upon it.
Mr. PONSONBYWill the right hon. Gentleman see that there is no unnecessary delay of the scheme, as it is undesirable that the work should be retarded unnecessarily?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAWe thought it desirable to have a conference with the Local Government Board in Scotland and then we thought it desirable to,submit the whole matter to an expert, and we are awaiting his report.
