HC Deb 11 February 1897 vol 46 c154
*MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he has yet considered the advisability of making provision in the Military Works (Money) Bill for the constructions of works for the protection of the northwest coast of Scotland?

*THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THIS WAR OFFICE (Mr. POWELL-WILLIAMS,) Birmingham, S.

When the whole question of the defence of the United Kingdom was considered by the Joint Naval and Military Committee no proposal was made for the construction of works on the north-west coast of Scotland.
