HC Deb 30 July 1957 vol 574 c139W
33. Mr. N. McLean

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the public interest aroused by the proposal for a drainage scheme for the Spey Valley, he will now make available for inspection by the public the report of the survey already carried out by the engineers of the Department of Agriculture.

Mr. Maclay

I am arranging that a copy of the report should be available for inspection at a suitable centre in the area to which it relates, and I am also arranging to place a copy of the report in the Library of the House.

Mr. N. McLean

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received from local authorities and other interested local organisations about the report of the proposed Spey Valley Drainage Scheme.

Mr. Maclay

Representations relating to the River Spey drainage report have been received from Grantown-on-Spey Town Council and from Inverness County Council in May and from the District Councils' Association for Scotland in July this year. Inquiries about the report were received from the Spey District Board in May. 1956, and from the Convention of Royal Burghs, in February, 1957.
