Mr. MACPHERSONasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the Logie-Letters road, in the Lochbroom district of Ross-shire, is left in an uncompleted stage, thus causing hardship to the community who are left without any road for transport, and will he give his immediate consideration to this grievance and allocate a grant sufficient to cover the cost of completion of the road?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONI am aware that there is an uncompleted section of this road, but I understand that it is not a public highway. If the highway authority consider that the completion of the road is an urgent necessity, the first step would be for them to arrange to take it over. They would then be in a position to make an application for financial assistance from the Road Fund provided they are prepared to make an adequate contribution towards the cost.
