HC Deb 14 July 1925 vol 186 c1048
19. Mr. SCRYMGEOUR

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is yet able to report agreement on the proposed footpath through the grounds of Broughty Ferry Castle, according to plan submitted by the city engineer?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The answer is in the negative. The War Office is awaiting a report from the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Scottish Command, by whom the proposal must be examined in the first instance.

Mr. SCRYMGEOUR

Did not the right hon. Gentleman assure the Corporation of Dundee that this was a very slight affair and would be easily carried through; and may we not therefore expect more rapid progress in the arrangements for a settlement?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I have no objection to the hon. Member expecting. I will try to make the progress as rapid as I can.
