HC Deb 13 March 1900 vol 80 cc737-8
MR. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the case of the Light Railway Order for the Fraserburgh and St. Combs Railway, the Great North of Scotland Company has made application for the Treasury grant for the scheme; and whether he will be able to take steps to urge on the commencement of the undertaking, which has been long delayed.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. RITCHIE,) Croydon

I understand that the answer to the first paragraph is in the negative. The Board of Trade will communicate with the company and endeavour to ascertain their intentions.
