§ Sir B. Neven-Spenceasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air, in view of the proposal of his Department to stop up part of route B 9076, a Class II road 70W which passes through Scatsfa aerodrome, Shetland, what steps he proposes to take to provide an alternative road.
§ Mr. Strachey:The proposal which the Air Ministry recently made in connection with this road was solely for the purpose of giving legal effect to the existing local arrangements, under which a short length of B 7076 to the south-west of Upper Scatsfa village has been closed and a diversion for this section is already in use. We are now considering, with the Ministry of Transport and with the Ministry of Civil Aviation, whether the future use of the airfield may involve a further diversion of this road.
