§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if, in view of the fact that the Lewis District Committee are unable to comply with the Treasury conditions for the construction of a light railway between Carloway and Stornoway, and on the 14th instant passed a Resolution urging that the Carloway new road should be completed and rendered available for a motor car service, he will state the approximate cost of completing this road; and whether the Government propose to put the work in hand at an early date.
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR,) ForfarshireI have received a copy of the Resolution referred to. The cost of completing the road was stated in 1902 to be not less than £10,000, but this sum might be quite insufficient if the road were to be rendered available for a service of motor waggons. There are no funds now available for the purpose.
