HC Deb 26 May 1965 vol 713 cc78-9W
Mr. Russell Johnston

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will give the latest available figures for whatever period is suitable for traffic passing through Kinlochleven en route for Ballachulish and crossing the ferry at Ballachulish, respectively.

Mr. Ross

Interpretation of the figures is complicated by the traffic which begins or ends its journey at Kinlochleven and by the traffic south of the loch being divided between the Glencoe and Connel Ferry roads. Broadly, the trunk road census of 1961 showed that some 3,000 vehicles per day moved north and south, across or round Loch Leven, and that these were about equally divided between the ferry at Ballachulish and the road via Kinlochleven.
