HC Deb 24 March 1908 vol 186 c1219
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the Congested Districts Board will consider the expediency of making arrangements to complete the road between Carloway and Stornoway.

MR. SINCLAIR

I can hold out no prospect at present that the very serious expenditure involved in this enterprise can be undertaken by the Board.

MR. WEIR

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Tory Government made one-half of this road—7½ miles—and would it not be a graceful thing for a Liberal Government to complete it?

MR. YOUNGER (Ayr Burghs)

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware also that all the grants made to crofters in this district have been made by the Conservative and Unionist Government?

[No Answer was returned.]
