HC Deb 14 April 1910 vol 16 c1422
Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked in what respect the Scottish Office do not accept as accurate the statements that as far back as 1883 the Crofters Commission recommended that Foula should be provided with a pier for the benefit of the islanders; that within the last few years the landlord subscribed to a fund which was being raised to enable the islanders to secure the grant intimated by the Congested Districts Board; that the landlord also was elected to the county council to further the scheme; and that, when the county council were prepared to undertake the work, the landlord refused the consent which it was implied was already given?

Mr. URE

I am unable to accept any of my hon. Friend's statements as accurate.

Captain CRAIG

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell the House where he intends to spend the Whitsuntide Recess this time?

Mr. CATHCART WASON

Can the right hon. Gentleman say in what respect any one of these statements which are alleged as facts is in any way inaccurate whatever?

Mr. URE

No. I really cannot.
