HC Deb 31 March 1909 vol 3 c318
Mr. WEIR

asked the Lord Advocate, in view of the very small number of new holdings created in the island of Lewis out of the funds of the Congested Districts Board, will arrangements be made for a portion of the Board's funds to be utilised for that purpose during the present year?

Mr. URE

The needs of Lewis are under the consideration of the Congested Districts Board, but I have no statement to make upon the subject at present.

Mr. WEIR

I hope some of the money will be spent in that island, and not the whole of it in one county.

Mr. URE

The subject is under consideration.
