Dingwall and Cromarty Light Railway.

HC Deb 29 March 1906 vol 154 c1542

MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will state what progress has been made with the Dingwall and Cromarty Light Railway.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

The Board of Trade have communicated both with the Cromarty and Dingwall Light Railway Company and the Highland Railway Company on this subject, and they are informed that the latter company, who under the Light Railway Order are to construct the railway, have undertaken the survey and preparation of the working plans of the line prior to the commencement of the work. It is stated that the survey, which was commenced in December last, is almost finished, and would, with the plans, have been completed before now but for the severe weather.
