§ Mr. Snaddenasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether persons appointed by him to conduct public inquiries in regard to constructional schemes of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board are instructed to visit the site where the proposed works are to be executed before conducting the inquiry.
Mr. JohnstonIt is open to a person holding an inquiry into a constructional scheme, after giving due notice to the parties, to visit the site of the proposed works, and I think it must be left to him to decide, having regard to the nature of the scheme and of the objections to it, whether such a visit is, under the circumstances, necessary.
