§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that the Benbecula mails are conveyed to and from the island viâ Lochmaddy and Lochboisdale, and will he state whether there is anything to prevent arrangements being made for landing the Benbecula mails at Petersport Pier, which was constructed under the Highlands and Islands Works Act?
§ MR. HANBURYThe mails are very small, and it would not be desirable to add to the length of the passages of the boats from Oban by including a call at Petersport in their time tables. Besides, there is difficulty, it is believed, in approaching Petersport.
