§ 20. Mr. GUYasked the Minister of Transport if he will now consider the completion of the survey for a road bridge across the River Forth at Rosyth, which was suspended in 1931?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Oliver Stanley)In present circumstances the answer is in the negative.
§ Mr. GUYDoes the Minister realise that there is a strong body of opinion in favour of this bridge; and does he also realise that a proper decision cannot be arrived at with regard to the practicability and cost of the scheme until this survey is completed?
§ Mr. STANLEYMy hon. Friend is no doubt aware that there is now in process of construction a bridge at Kincardine, and a very considerable improvement has been made in the ferry service. Until we see the results of these two improvements it would be clearly wrong to proceed with this survey.
