HC Deb 30 July 1957 vol 574 c1054
32. Mr. Steele

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has yet considered a report from the county councils of Scotland as to where lay-bys, for the assistance and convenience of tourists, should be situated.

Mr. Maclay

I have not received such a report, but I propose to discuss the matter with those councils most likely to be interested.

Mr. Steele

Is the Secretary of State aware that a report of this kind was called for before the war? If he is unaware that such a statement is in his office, perhaps he will have a look around the dusty corridors of the Department. Will he consider discussing this matter with the chief constables and also with the Scottish Tourist Board?

Mr. Maclay

I know it is very important point. We will have all the discussions which we think may be constructive in this regard.
