HC Deb 21 July 1899 vol 74 c1544
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Secretary for Scotland is aware that the construction of a light railway between Fearn and Portmahomack, for which he granted a certificate some time back, is in great measure dependent on Portmahomack Harbour being so improved as to be available for moderate-sized boats at all states of the tide; and will he take this point into consideration with a view to approaching the Treasury for a grant in aid of the improvement of the harbour.

* MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

I have already informed the hon. Member as to the conditions under which the Secretary for Scotland would be disposed to recommend a grant to Treasury, in respect of Portmahomack Harbour.
