§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what has delayed completion of the new bridge at Kirkfieldbank, Lanark; when the bridge will be completed; and how this forecast compares with his last reply to the hon. Member for Lanark on this subject.
§ Mr. MaclayIn a written Answer on 24th June I told my hon. Friend that Lanarkshire County Council expected the work to be completed before the end of the year. The Council now confirms that it expects that the new bridge will be open to traffic by that time; the final work to finish the scheme will be completed early in 1959.
