asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what starting date he has now approved for the replacement of the road bridge at Calder Street, Whifflet, which is sub-standard and a hazard to road users; and what is the estimated cost of the project.

The town council has been told that this scheme may go ahead in 1966 at an estimated cost of £40,000, and that it may appoint a firm of consultant engineers for the detailed preparation.
