§ Mr. J. StuartMy right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation has informed the County Council of Ross and Cromarty, in reply to representations made to him, that in present financial circumstances expenditure on the construction of the North Applecross road at an estimated cost of about £300,000 could not be justified.
