HC Deb 27 July 1954 vol 531 c16W
52. Mrs. Mann

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has now replied to the representations made to him by Coatbridge Town Council concerning the Monkland Canal.

Mr. J. Stuart

Investigation of a similar problem in Glasgow showed conclusively that the only effective way of preventing drowning accidents in this canal is to fill it in. That is a matter for consideration by the British Transport Commission, the town council and any other interests concerned. I am bringing the town council's representations to the commission's notice.
