HC Deb 20 October 1954 vol 531 c184W
122. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is aware of the handicaps and danger to large vehicles in using the bridge at Cannich; and whether he is prepared to take steps to see that the Bailey bridge erected for the use of contractors' traffic can be made available for general transport.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I know that this bridge is weak and requires early reconstruction. A scheme is being prepared by the Inverness County Council, the responsible highway and bridge authority. It is primarily for the Council to consider any question of making available for general transport the Bailey bridge to which the right hon. Member refers and which is, I understand, the property of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board.

Forward to
