HC Deb 25 October 1955 vol 545 c3W
70. Mr. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether any firm decision has yet been reached on the precise nature of a road crossing of the Forth; and what effect the restriction of public expenditure is likely to have on the possibility of proceeding with the projected crossing within the next three years.

Mr. J. Stuart

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation and I are awaiting the Report of the panel of experts who are considering the respective merits of the proposed tube scheme and the bridge scheme. As regards the second part of the Question my intention remains as indicated by my right hon. Friend in his statement of 2nd February last.
