HC Deb 29 July 1936 vol 315 c1518
35. Mr. CASSELLS

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has been in consultation with the county council of Dumbarton relative to the suggested road improvement scheme for highways bordering Loch Lomond; and, if so, what is the result of these negotiations?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I understand that the present proposal of the county council is to carry out, subject to grant from the Road Fund, a comprehensive survey of the whole length of this road from Balloch to the Perthshire boundary as a preliminary to the preparation of an improvement scheme.

Mr. CASSELLS

Is the right hon. Gentleman prepared to give the scheme preferential treatment and consideration in view of the fact that the development of Loch Lomond would be a national asset?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

When I receive the scheme, I shall be prepared to answer that question.
