§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Secretary for Scotland is aware that children residing in the township of Tom-an-Fhuadain, 21 Gravir, in the parish of Lochs, Island of Lewis, are frequently unable to get to school during the winter months on account of there being no footpath; and will the Congested Districts Board consider the expediency of providing a grant in aid for the construction of a path.
§ *THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY, Buteshire)As the hon. Member has already been informed the Congested Districts Board wrote to the Parish Council of Lochs on 18th April, 1901, asking for certain information to enable them to consider an application for this path. The Board have not yet received this information, though they have repeatedly asked for it. Until it comes they are unable to consider the question of a grant in aid of the construction of this path.
