HC Deb 10 March 1954 vol 524 cc2237-8
57. Mr. Hamilton

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the estimated cost of lighting the trunk road through the village of Kincardine-on-Forth, Fife; and what factors are preventing him from proceeding with this scheme.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Two thousand five hundred pounds, Sir. I am afraid that I cannot make a contribution to the cost of this scheme in the immediate future because the funds which I have available are required at present for schemes of higher priority.

Mr. Hamilton

Why does the Minister display this anti-Scottish attitude so blatantly? Is he aware that in my constituency we have a bridge and no lights at one end, and lights and no bridge at the other end? Can he not do something about it very quickly?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I shall be always glad, in this and in other ways, to throw more light on the hon. Member's constituency, but I cannot make exceptions for one place rather than another.
