§ Mr. John MacLeodasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what amount of grant money has been allocated to the seven crofter counties this year, respectively, for major road improvements.
§ Mr. MaclayThe programme of major road improvements is subject to review throughout the year in the light of progress with the preparation of individual schemes and I cannot at present forecast what grants will be issued to individual highway authorities for this purpose during this financial year.
§ Mr. Malcolm MacMillanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when, and why, work on the Rodel-Tarbert Crofter Counties road scheme, in the Isle of Harris, was discontinued; and when it is to be resumed.
§ Mr. MaclayWork on the final stage of this scheme began in May, 1956, and was stopped during last winter because of a breakdown of quarry plant. Work began again this spring, and I expect that it will be completed next month.
