HC Deb 30 November 1956 vol 561 cc73-4W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects work to begin and to be completed on the proposed joint drainage scheme for the villages of Brainwood and Crossford, Lanarkshire, which is urgently needed for housing development.

Mr. J. Stuart

I understand that the county council is about to invite tenders for the sewer from Braidwood to Crossford, and that the sewage purification works are at present being designed. The whole scheme would take at least two years to complete.
