§ Mr. Wintertonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations have been received by his Department about the proposal to erect pylons through the Rough Bounds of Knoydart via Kinloch Hourn; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. William RossThe North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's proposal to route an overhead transmission line from Quoich Power Station to Skye via Loch Hourn and Glenelg was first advertised on 7th November. I received 116 representations before the closing date, and have these under consideration with a view to determining whether a public in-340W quiry should be held. It would not, therefore, be appropriate for me to offer further comment at this stage.
