§ SIR ARTHUR BIGNOLD (Wick Burghs)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is in a position to state what is the decision of the Treasury upon the application made to the Lords Commissioners for assistance to the authorities of the harbour of Wick in completing the harbour works designed to render Wick a safe harbour of refuge.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH,) Derbyshire, W.I understand that the Trustees, on the representation of my hon. friend, have applied to the Public Works Loan Board for a further loan, and that the application is now under the consideration of the Board. It is an entirely independent body, but as I know the very great interest my hon. friend takes in the matter, the decision of the Board shall be communicated to him as soon as possible.
