HC Deb 21 July 1899 vol 74 cc1543-4
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that it is stated in a memorandum by the Under Secretary for Scotland, on page 6 of the Congested Districts Board Report, that fresh legislation seems to be required to secure the maintenance of minor lighthouses and bridges unfit for cart traffic, will he state whether any arrangements have yet been made by which these minor lighthouses and bridges may be prevented from falling into decay; and, if not, will he state what action it is proposed to take in the matter.

* MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

The Secretary for Scotland has nothing to add to the reply given by me to the hon. Member a week ago.

MR. WEIR

Am I to understand that nothing is to be done?

* MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

If the hon. Member would further, instead of opposing, the Congested Districts Board Bill, something might be done.
