§ Mr. Malcolm MacPhersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what provision he makes, in the design of new roads, and in particular new motorways, for bringing architectural advice to bear from the earliest stages.
§ Mr. MaclayThe design of new roads is principally an engineering matter but, where necessary, I can be advised, not only by my engineers, but also by my planning and architecture staff. Where important structures are involved, the views of the Royal Fine Art Commission for Scotland are obtained and independent architectural advice may be sought.
