HC Deb 04 February 1897 vol 45 cc1269-70
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether it is proposed to extend the harbour at Fort Ness, Island of Lewis; and whether arrangements will be made to complete the works during the year?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

There is no intention to extend the harbour at Port Ness beyond what was proposed six years ago. As the hon. Member is aware, a dispute between the trustees and the contractors was referred to arbitration; and the decision has not yet been given to us. For the present it is impossible to say when the works will be finished.
