§ 79. Lord Malcolm Douglas-Hamiltonasked the Minister of Transport to what extent £750,000 grant for Highland roads recently promised by the Government will assist the restarting of the Crofter County Scheme for road construction.
§ Mr. BarnesSeven works included in the Crofter Counties Programme are still proceeding. The special provision which has been authorised for Highland roads will enable further work to be put in hand under this programme, and I am now considering, in consultation with my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State; which additional schemes should be selected for commencement.
