§ 19. Mr. Benceasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representation he has received respecting the reclassification of roads in the county of Dunbarton.
§ Mr. BenceBut representations have been made within the last few years. Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a considerable increase in traffic through the boroughs of Bearsden, Milngavie and Kirkintilloch? In view of the expansion which has taken place and that promised for the future, will the right hon. Gentleman consider applications, if they are made, for reclassification so that we can have more money spent on roads across the County of Dunbarton?
§ Mr. NobleI will consider any application from the county council. As the hon. Gentleman knows, this can only be considered at the present time if the county council has equivalent lengths of other roads to be declassified.
