§ 31. Mr. Clark Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what advice he has given to Edinburgh Corporation about transport problems in the city.
§ Mr. YoungerMy right hon. Friend is sharing the cost of a Planning and Transport Study which Edinburgh Corporation has commissioned in order to obtain such advice.
§ Mr. Clark HutchisonWill my hon. Friend look at the plans that seem to be maturing in Edinburgh, particularly about the link road and the ring road, which, so far as I can discover, nobody in the city wants Secondly, will he look into the possibility of bringing back the suburban railways?
§ Mr. YoungerThe first part of my hon. Friend's question is entirely a matter for Edinburgh Corporation to decide. On the question of suburban railway lines, I understand that the consultants who are at present conducting a study of the central area of the city are looking into these and other matters.
