§ Mr. Maclennanasked the Minister of Transport if she will give an assurance that she will approve an application to reposition the Marrel number 2 level crossing at Helmsdale, Sutherland, in view of the danger to the public which the present crossing constitutes.
§ Mr. John Morris:I understand that British Railways Scottish Region and Sutherland County Council are in consultation about a realignment of the road concerned at the consequent repositioning of the level crossing. The Railways have not yet made any application in respect of the crossing, but when they do so my right hon. Friend will carefully consider it in the light of all the circumstances and with particular regard to the safety of the public.
