Mr Michael Noble: ...over which the Government have complete control—housing, roads, technical colleges, teacher training establishments, universities, schemes for retraining men who are to become redundant, great bridges, new power stations, and water works—all this great panoply of public expenditure which is required to sustain and increase the flood of new inquiries and developments that are weekly...
Mr David Webster: ...answer. My right hon. Friend the Member for Wallasey, when in office, made a start with laying down the M5 from Birmingham to Bristol. We have the M4 from London to Bristol, the Severn Road Bridge coming across from Wales and the M6 north of Birmingham. So that there is an immense hinterland leading to the port. Portbury would make a tremendous change. It would be a port not only with...
Mr Charles Pannell: ...lunched once a month. I should have said that that man was very much more powerful than any man at the Foreign Office for putting over the fact that there was something amiss, because he was the bridge, he was the appointed official. The Daily Mail took from him what the Daily Express would not take. But the matter does not rest there. [HON. MEMBERS: "Oh."] Hon. Members are groaning. I...
Mr Peter Doig: ...vehicle testing station either in Dundee or in Perth would be the nearest for the following towns: Blairgowrie, Glenrothes, Cupar, Montrose, Brechin, Carnoustie, Crieff, Forfar, Leven, Methil, St. Andrews and Arbroath. On this basis, the mileage from these places to Dundee totals 252 miles and to Perth it is 333 miles, an increase of almost one-third, quite apart from the fact that most of...
...briefly to Scotland, and I am delighted to see that the Secretary of State for Scotland has come in—no doubt from a very busy day coping with gale damage. We are very pleased to see him. As St. Andrew's House is situated in my constituency, I want to refer to the situation there. I gather that since the right hon. Gentleman took office the Civil Service there has increased to the tune of...

Bernard Braine: ...work of the Estimates Committee, whose admirable Report gives us so much valuable information and clears away so many misconceptions. In this connection, I pay tribute also to the late Sir Andrew Cohen, a great public servant who will be much missed. True, the Committee was precluded by its terms of reference from pronouncing on aid policy as such. It could not say whether our aid should...

Miss Bernadette Devlin: ...with members of the Ulster Special Constabulary. These men and their rank and file followers engaged in the planning of an ambush and the carrying out of a savage wholesale assault at Burntollet Bridge. This raises two matters with regard to Government assurances and the extent of these. First, from the outset of the demonstration the Government of the North of Ireland openly requested...
Mr James Davidson: ...that firm was in Inverurie long before news of the closure of the Inverurie locomotive works ever hit the Press headlines. That electronics firm was sitting there in a small works by the railway bridge in Inverurie long before and it would have expanded in one direction or another sooner or later, quite separate and distinct from what has happened at the locomitive works. It was suggested...

Mr Robert Maclennan: ...Questions, the imperative reasons why I believe that the Government should authorise the crossing by road of the Dornoch Firth and why I believe they should do so now. The proposal to bridge the Dornoch Firth at the Meikle Ferry is not new. Indeed there are extant plans drawn up by the great Telford well over 100 years ago for this bridge. I hope that the Under-Secretary will not regard...
Mr James Johnson: ...in the constituency I believe that all the parties concerned—the vessel owners, merchants and unions—think that it would be a good thing to move next door out of the old dilapidated St. Andrew's Dock into this modern dock further towards the mouth of the Hull. Of course, it would be necessary to have increased charges, but I believe the industry could bear those charges, particularly...
Mr George Younger: ...and I have also had correspondence about Hawick and we know the problems involved. As I see it, in Hawick there are two separate issues. The first is the question of the replacement of Drumlanrig Bridge and the improvement of the approaches to the bridge. The second is the question whether trunk road traffic should continue to pass through Hawick High Street. It is generally agreed by all...

Friend think that the hours spent on the bridge of a coastal minesweeper in a channel gale in mid-winter are unsocial or not? Does he think that patrolling the streets of Bogside on Saturday at midnight constitutes unsocial hours? It is...
