§ 118. Sir B. Neven-Spenceasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the fact that it will take some counties in the Highlands and Islands at least 30 years to complete the system of 59W roads normally constructed and maintained by district councils out of their statutory resources, he has any proposals to make for accelerating the programme.
§ Mr. WestwoodI fully appreciate the need for new roads in the Highlands and Islands and increased provision has been made this year for grants for the purpose under the Congested Districts (Scotland) Act, 1897.
