§ MR. MACFARLANE (Argyll)beg to ask the President of the Board of 1321 Trade if he is aware that a fence has been erected at Ballachulish Pier for the purposes of excluding the coaches of all but one coach owner; whether the terms upon which the erection of the pier upon the foreshore was granted justifies a proceeding which reduces the general accommodation of the public; if he will order the removal of the fence in question; and whether a charge of 3d. upon every passenger landing on the Ballachulish Pier is legal?
§ MR. MUNDELLAI am in communication with the parties who erected the pier; but my present information does not enable me to answer the question further than to state that no statutory authority has been granted.
