§ MR. HERBERT LEWIS (Flint Boroughs)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state what was the total expenditure on Peterhead Harbour up to the 31st March. 1901; what is the estimated total cost of the harbour; how long have the works been in progress, and what is the estimated period required for their completion.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERThe total expenditure upon Peterhead Harbour up to the 31st March, 1901, was £398,000. The total estimated cost of the harbour is £972,520. The works have been in progress since the year 1885; the estimated period for their completion was 38 years. It is therefore expected that they will be finished in the year 1922–23.
