HC Deb 01 July 1908 vol 191 cc769-70
MR. MORTON

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether anything has yet been done to improve the pier at Embo, Sutherlandshire, so that the fishermen can use it for the protection of their lives and boats; and, if not, will he see that something is done for the protection of life and property.

MR. SINCLAIR

I have nothing to add to my reply to my hon. friend on 28th May, 1907, when I informed him that the Congested Districts Board hold that the position of the local fishing industry does not justify them in spending further public money on this pier.

MR. MORTON

Will the right hon. Gentleman endeavour to induce the Congested Districts Board to do something to protect these fishermen?
