SINCLAIRasked the Minister of Transport whether he is yet in a position to announce the results of the preliminary engineering survey by the electricity commissioners of Northern and Southern Scotland; and whether a scheme for extending the main transmission lines into the Highlands and other rural areas of Scotland has yet been framed or is now in course of preparation?
