§ MR. WEIRI bog to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the fact that the Treasury Committee of 1891 on Railways in the North West of Scotland, consisting of Major General Hutchinson, R.E., C.B., Rear Admiral Sir G. S. Nares, K.C.B., and Henry Tounaut, Esq., reported Loch Broom, Ross-shire, to be encumbered with islets and rocks, and that this Report has been repeatedly quoted in this House as a reason for refusing the promised grant in aid of the Garve and Ullapool Railway extension scheme, while the Admiralty charts show no islets or rocks in the course of vessels sailing to and fro from Ullapool, and the sailing directions, as well as the Admiralty officials, state that Loch Broom is remarkably free from rocks and islets, steps will be taken to contradict the inaccurate statements contained in the Report referred to, and thus obviate the injury to the district which they are calculated to produce?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir W. HARCOURT,) DerbyI do not think the course suggested by the hon. Member can be taken.
