31. Major CHAPPLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what steps have been taken to ascertain which of the two rival routes is more suitable for strategic aid commercial purposes of a canal across Scotland?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The data available are sufficient to enable an opinion to be formed as to which of the alternative routes is better suited to naval requirements.
