Mr. N. Macpherson

Berwick County Council has suggested that there should be a meeting of all concerned to discuss the possibility of constructing a new bridge over the Tweed. My right hon. Friend has recently the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation plans for the strengthening of the present bridge at Coldstream which have, he understands, been approved by the Tweed Bridges Trust. My right hon. Friend's Department will shortly discuss the whole matter with the county council.
