§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the fact that all the schemes for railway extension in the Highlands have been withdrawn with the exception of the Garve and Ullapool, the Treasury will now consider the desirability of giving aid towards the development of this railway?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir W. HARCOURT, Derby)I have already shown my hon. Friend, with respect to the Garve and Ullapool Railway, that the Treasury have not thought it advisable to give public money for this purpose, as the Report of the Commission has not yet recommended that line.
