HC Deb 19 March 1897 vol 47 c1036
MR. T. C. H. HEDDERWICK (Wick Burghs)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when the Government propose to institute or establish any public works on the west coast of Scotland?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman is unaware that there have been public works instituted on the west coast of Scotland since 1891, and there is a Vote in the Estimates for the coming year for works in that part of the United Kingdom.
