HC Deb 25 February 1886 vol 302 cc1206-7
DR. R. M'DONALD

asked the President of the Board of Trade, If any inquiry has taken place on the subject of new and improved harbour accommoda- tion for the islands of Lewis and Skye, and for the Highlands generally; and, if so, when may the House hope to have a report thereof, and hear the intentions of Her Majesty's Government on the subject?

THE SECRETARY TO THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. C. T. D. ACLAND)

No inquiry has been made on the subject of harbour accommodation since the general inquiry made in the last Parliament by the Select Committee presided over by my right hon. Friend the Member for Berwickshire (Mr. Marjoribanks).
