HC Deb 16 March 1948 vol 448 c215W
Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will now approve the loan requested by the Dumfries County Council for the purpose of a lighting scheme at the Kelloholm Temporary Housing Estate which at present is entirely without street lighting.

Mr. Woodburn

In view of the present need for economy in the use of materials and in fuel consumption, I have not been able to approve the County Council's proposals in the form submitted to me, and have asked them to consider whether a modified scheme is required in the interests of public safety.
