HC Deb 29 May 1968 vol 765 c234W
84. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects final approval to be given to the Trondra/ Burra Isle road and bridges scheme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

In December, 1964 I approved this scheme, as put forward by Zetland County Council. A large part of the road works, both on the mainland and on the island of Trondra, has been completed; and some work has been done on the Holm of Brough causeway. The Council, however, is reconsidering what is the most suitable and economic method of crossing Lang Sound, and I am awaiting its revised proposals.
