§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate, having regard to the statement made by the engineer of Port Ness Harbour works that the huge concrete blocks which fell into the harbour have not been removed owing to the weather not being suitable and that the blocks are not a source of danger to the fishermen, will he take steps to obtain information from the fishermen who are compelled to use the harbour?
§ *THE LORD ADVOCATEI have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the statement I made to the hon. Member last Thursday from the report of the engineer of the works, but if any authoritative representation in writing be made to the Secretary for Scotland by the fishermen on the subject he will give it his consideration.
§ MR. WEIRasked whether Messrs. Stevens and Co., Edinburgh, were the engineers for the harbour in question?
§ *THE LORD ADVOCATEYes, Sir.
