HC Deb 09 December 1902 vol 116 c453
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Secretary for Scotland is aware that, owing to the bridge over the Applecross River having been closed on account of its dangerous condition, the people of the district are unable to reach the parish church and churchyard except by wading the river; and will he say whether the Congested Districts Board aid prepared to provide a grant in aid for the construction of a new bridge.

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

I am not to be held as assuming the accuracy of the statements which form part of the Question of the hon. Member, and with regard to the latter part I can only refer him to my reply to his similar Question on 12th November†, there having been no further action taken in the matter by the local authorities concerned.
