§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Congested Districts Board have yet arrived at any decision in regard to the points where minor lights are to be fixed in the congested area.
§ * MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYThe Congested Districts Board cannot at present submit a complete scheme of all the points at which mirror lights are required in congested districts. The various applications for such lights are receiving the anxious consideration of the Board in relation to the important questions of cost, suitability, and priority of treatment. Within the last few years 17 minor lighthouses have been erected in these districts at a cost of £8,350.
§ MR. WEIRIs the right hon. Gentleman aware there are no minor lights off the coast of Ross-shire?
No answer was given.
