§ MR. MACFARLANE (Argyll)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland when the recommendation of the Boundary Commission, that Couaglen, Ardgour, and Kingairloch should be made into a separate parish, will be carried into effect?
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN, GLASGOW,) BridgetonThe Boundary Commissioners found two very large parishes, Ardnamurchan and Kilmallie, situated side by side, and each lying partly in Inverness and partly in Argyll. They recommended that the Inverness-shire portion of Ardnamurchan, and the Argyllshire portion of Kilmallie, should each be formed into a new civil parish. By the 51st section of the Local Government Act of 1889 the Secretary for Scotland is empowered to carry out these changes, but only on the representation of a County Council. The County Council of Inverness have made the necessary representation as regards Ardnamurchan, and the Local Authorities interested are now being consulted about it. But no representation regarding Kilmallie has yet been made either by the County Council of Inverness-shire or 1779 Argyllshire. Conaglen and Ardgour are situated in the Argyllshire portion of the Parish of Kilmallie.
