Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the Lord Advocate if he will state in what particulars the circumstances laid before him with reference to the pier at Foula are in any way incorrect; if he is aware that the landlord himself contributed £10 towards the quota required before the grant intimated by the Congested Districts Board could be secured; and that when the county council required a site for the said pier the said landlord, whose property would have been benefited by the expenditure, and whose consent to grant a site had been assumed by the county council, by the islanders, and their friends, declined to grant a site except on impossible conditions?
§ The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Ure)What I said in reply to my hon. Friend's previous question on 8th June was not that the facts laid before me were incorrect, but that the parties are not in agreement as to the facts, and that inquiry will be made. I cannot make any further state- 1188 ment until the facts have been further elucidated.
