HC Deb 06 March 1899 vol 67 cc1346-7
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the grants made by the Congested Districts Board on account of the marine works, etc., as indicated in Application 5, page 18, of the Board's Report, will cover the amount required to complete all works commenced with grants provided under the Highlands and Islands Public Works Act, 1891; if not, will he name the works not provided for and the estimated amount required to complete each work?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY,) Buteshire

I am informed by the engineer acting for the Congested Districts Board that there is no work "entertained" under the Highlands and Islands (Scotland) Works Act, 1891, which is not covered by the grants provided by the Congested Districts Board.
