§ 94. Mr. Spenceasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware of the loss of amenity that would be caused by the construction of a road between Lossiemouth and Hopeman, passing, in part, through the Moray Golf Course; and whether, since there are no technical or security problems involved in routing this road to the south of the Royal Naval Air Station "Fulmar," he will instruct his representative at the public inquiry to press for the adoption of the southern alternative at the forthcoming inquiry.
§ Mr. DigbyI am glad of the opportunity of explaining the Admiralty's position on this matter. The Admiralty is responsible for meeting the cost of whatever road is decided upon by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport to replace those which are to be closed.
121WThe Admiralty is, therefore, concerned as to the relative cost of the alternative routes. Admiralty representatives will attend the public inquiry in order to explain, as necessary, the effect of any proposals on current and future naval interests.
