§ 9. Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the increasing weight of traffic, with its acompanying dangers, on Paisley Road, West, at the point where it separates Crookston Road from Sandwood Road; and if he will consult the appropriate authority with a view to erecting a system of traffic signals at this particular crossing.
§ Mr. LeburnThis is a matter for consideration in the first place by Glasgow Corporation as highway authority.
§ Mr. RankinI suggested in the Question that the hon. Gentleman might consult the appropriate authority before answering it. Did he do that, and, if he has not done so, will he do so because this is a matter of importance? It would be very easily remedied because the control lights of Hillington Road, which is not a crossing point, could be transferred and perform the same functions 100 yards further to the west.
§ Mr. LeburnI realise that, but I have every confidence in the corporation that it will take the necessary initiative and I am sure that it will not hesitate to come to me if it wishes to do so.
