HC Deb 21 July 1971 vol 821 cc294-5W
56. Mr. Ronald King Murray

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent Government expenditure on infrastructure in Scotland will be related to the development of Leith as a major terminal of the transporation landbridge between the Clyde and the Forth.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

It is not practicable to relate infrastructure exclusively to one transport installation. Leith will benefit directly and indirectly from the substantial expenditure by Government and transport undertakings on the provision of a modern and comprehensive communications network in Central Scotland.
