§ MR. J. G. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate, whether a sufficient sum will be provided in this year's Estimates for the completion of the harbour works 946 at Port Ness; and, whether they will be completed this year?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATEA sufficient amount has been placed on the Estimates for 1896–7 out of which payment can, if required, be made for the completion of the harbour works at Port Ness, but it is not at present anticipated that they will be entirely finished by the 31st March, 1897.
