HC Deb 02 April 1895 vol 32 c728
DR. MACGREGOR (Inverness-shire)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, if he will consider the desirability of giving without delay to the outlying districts of Inverness-shire the intended grant for roads and footpaths, so that the expenditure of this money for labour may enable those of the people in destitute circumstances to purchase seed, grain, and potatoes for use this spring?

SIR GEORGE TREVELYAN

The Scotch Education Department has been consulted as to the districts in which it is most necessary to provide footpaths for school children. The necessary inquiries are being made, and the funds will be allocated in Inverness-shire and elsewhere when full information is obtained.

DR. MACGREGOR

I trust the right hon. Gentleman will remember that what is done quickly is done twice.
