§ 17. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for War how much his Department have paid out in meeting claims for damage done by tanks in Dunbar during the last five years; and what would be the cost of removing these vehicles permanently to a convenient parking place clear of the burgh.
§ Mr. HeadThe sum of £95 11s. 2d. has been paid on account of damage to property, and £17 13s. 2d. for damage to roads. To remove these tanks elsewhere would cost about £7,500.
§ Major Anstruther-GrayIs it not the case that an expensive scheme for widening the gates is now being proposed? In the interests of economy as well as of general convenience, would it not be much better to consider shifting the tanks to a place where they would be better sited?
