HC Deb 22 November 1938 vol 341 cc1497-8
61. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has received any report on a fire which took place recently at the Forthview Hotel, Aberdour; whether he is aware that the only means of access to the hotel is by means of a dark and narrow path round the old harbour, which makes a sudden night-time evacuation extremely dangerous; and whether he will consider the building of a roadway in this part of Aberdour?

Mr. Colville

I have no information about the circumstances of the fire referred to in the question, but I am making inquiries, and I shall write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. Gallacher

Will the right hon. Gentleman take care to find out the full facts concerning the danger, not only from fire, but from the bad road, which makes it difficult for visitors to escape?

Mr. Colville

I am making inquiries into the matter. If the hon. Member has any other points to put before me, I shall be happy to take them into consideration.

Mr. Colville

As the reply includes a table of figures, I propose, with my hon. Friend's permission, to circulate a statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the statement:
