HC Deb 26 July 1905 vol 150 c348
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate whether, with a view to assist the fishing industry in the Island of Lewis, he will consider the expediency of establishing a weight-carrying motor-car service between Carloway and Stornoway, Island of Lewis.

THE LORD-ADVOCATE (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON, Glasgow, Bridgton)

If the service referred to by the hon. Member is regarded in the island as tending to practical and efficient development to the fishing industry on the western seaboard of the Lews, and application is made for assistance in establishing such service, the Secretary for Scotland will give the matter his favourable consideration.
