§ Mr. WESTWOODasked the Minister of Transport, (1) what progress, if any, has been made in the schemes for bridging the Forth between Queensferry and Stirling; and what percentages of costs have been promised, if any;
(2) what approaches, if any, have been made to his Department towards getting part of the capital expenditure for the inauguration of a ferry service between North Queensferry and South Queens-ferry; if any offer of financial assistance has been made; and, if so, to what extent?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONThese questions can conveniently be dealt with in a single reply. At my suggestion the Edinburgh Corporation are convening in the near future a conference of local authorities who are to consider the whole problem of traffic facilities across the Forth, including the question of improved ferry facilities. No promise of financial assistance has been given.
