§ 51. Mr. Kennedyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he can now state the result of any conversations between the representatives of the Government Departments and the representatives of the local authorities and interests concerned regarding the condition of Buck-haven harbour?
The Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. Wedderburn)My right hon. Friend has been actively examining, in consultation with other Departments, the general situation which has arisen at Buckhaven in connection with the Colliery Bing on the foreshore. As the right hon. Member is aware, the condition of the harbour is only one part of a general problem. The conversations are still in progress and have not yet reached a stage at which I could usefully make a statement.
