§ Mr. N. McLeanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether he is aware of the lack of parking places for vehicles in Fort Augustus and the resulting serious congestion of traffic on the trunk road between Fort William and Inverness, about which the hon. Member for Inverness has written to him; and what steps he is taking to provide parking places for vehicles and to relieve this congestion before the tourist season starts.
§ Mr. MaclayThe provision of parking places in Fort Augustus is primarily a matter for the County Council of Inverness as the responsible highway authority and I understand that, following a meeting of the Roads Committee earlier this week, certain recommendations designed to relieve traffic congestion in the area are being made to the County Council.
