§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many road accidents, fatal and non-fatal, respectively, have occurred since the war on the hill leading down to Hyndford Bridge, Lanark.
§ Mr. MaclayBetween 1st January, 1950, the earliest date from which records are available, and 30th November, 1957, there have been three accidents on this hill involving injury to three persons and eight collisions not involving personal injury.
§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is satisfied with existing road safety provisions on the hill leading down to Hyndford Bridge, Lanark, in view of the accident which occurred there on 2nd November.
§ Mr. MaclayThere are adequate warning signs on the approach to this bridge and road improvements were carried out some years ago at the northern junction of A.73 and A.70 and at the foot of the hill. I understand that the accident on 2nd November occurred when a lorry skidded on the ice and overturned. No one was hurt.
