HC Deb 15 November 1955 vol 546 c29W
92. Sir D. Robertson

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, as a result of his consultations with local authorities on problems arising from last winter's snow-storms, what arrangements have been made to provide an adequate number of modern snow-ploughs and other facilities necessary for the safety of rural communities in Caithness and Sutherland.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Additional heavy lorries fitted with snow ploughs are on order, which should make it easier for help to be given to Caithness and Sutherland.
