§ 19. Mr. Buchananasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses, workshops, offices and shops have been demolished in the city of Glasgow to provide new roads for which he is responsible, and motorways; and what are the total moneys lost in rates by their demolition.
§ Mr. RossGlasgow Corporation is responsible for virtually all the new roads in the city, including motorways, and I do not have the information requested by my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. BuchananI am sorry that the information is not available. I am disappointed that it has not been procured in the three weeks during which the Question has been lying on the Table. There is no point in asking a supplementary question.
§ Mr. RossI can assure my hon. Friend that if it had been readily available he would have had the information, even though it is not within our files at the moment. I understand from Glasgow that it would take a very long time, and that an undue amount of work would be involved in getting it.
