HC Deb 14 March 1901 vol 90 cc1576-7
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that the Postmaster General has stated that he is prepared to establish a telegraph office at Shawbost, Stornoway, under a guarantee of £27 per annum, and seeing that the Barvas Parish Council have signified their intention to guarantee half that amount, will the Congested Districts Board consider the expediency of providing the remaining half of the required guarantees

*MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

I am informed by the Congested Districts Board that the Barvas Parish Council have not yet approached them on the subjects referred to by the lion. Member, when they do so their proposal will be duly considered.
