HC Deb 14 June 1955 vol 542 c6W
54. Mr. Hoy

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if a decision has yet been reached with regard to the tube crossing of the Forth.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

With the agreement of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland, I have appointed a panel of experts consisting of Sir William Halcrow (as Chairman), Mr. Gilbert Roberts and Mr. Shirley Smith to consider the respective merits of the bridge scheme and the tube crossing. This will involve much detailed technical investigation.
