§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many accidents, involving fatal and non-fatal injuries, respectively, have occurred on the Glasgow-Carlisle road at Glengonnar Woods, near Abington, since the war.
§ Mr. MaclaySince 1st January, 1947, the earliest date from which records are available, there have been 16 accidents on this length of road involving one fatality and 27 cases of personal injury.
§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in the light of the road fatality which occurred on the Glasgow—Carlisle road at Glengonnar Woods, near Abington, on 22nd February, he is satisfied with the road safety that is in force in that area; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MaclayI hope to authorise shortly a scheme for the reconstruction of this section of the Glasgow—Carlisle road. I have no reason to suppose, however, that the accident referred to in the Question indicated that any additional road safety measures are called for.
