HC Deb 02 February 1897 vol 45 c1048
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he can now state when the construction of the lighthouse on Tiumpan Head, Island of Lewis, will be commenced?

MR. RITCHIE

Although the Board of Trade have sanctioned the establishment of a light on Tiumpan Head, I am not yet able to say when, having regard to the claims of other works also under consideration, the state of the Mercantile Marine Fund will admit of the work being commenced.
