§ 74. Mr. JOHNSTONasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether ho has received a resolution from the Town Council of Dundee asking the Government to allow the provision of a footpath for the public convenience through the Castle Green at Broughty Ferry; whether he is aware that the town council's negotiations for repurchase of the Castle Green from the Government have fallen through; and if he is prepared to receive representations on the necessity of restoring the old public privileges of transit?
§ Captain KINGI have not received a copy of the resolution referred to, but I have been informed that a resolution regarding the provision of a footpath through the Castle Green was passed at a meeting of the ratepayers. I am aware that as the Green at Broughty Ferry is required for military purposes, it is not possible to entertain the town council's application to purchase it. As regards the last part of the question, I shall be prepared to consider any representations which the town council may wish to make.
