§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Ministry of Transport whether the engineer appointed under his Department in charge of the Edinburgh and Glasgow road, a contract which will amount to over two millions sterling, has ever had any experience of a work of such magnitude?
§ Mr. GOSLINGThe scheme in question is being carried out by the local authorities concerned and not by my Department, though I approved of the appointment of the engineer in charge. The gentleman selected has had long and varied experience of important public works, and I am satisfied that he is adequately qualified for the post.
