HC Deb 18 May 1911 vol 25 cc2137-8
Mr. SUTHERLAND

asked if an application has yet been made by the Scottish Office to the Development Commissioners for grants for the extension of harbours on the North-east of Scotland; and, if not, when such application will be made?

Mr. URE

Applications for grants out of the Development Fund have been made by certain harbour authorities in the North-east of Scotland to the Treasury, and are at present under consideration of the departments interested in terms of the Development Act. As my hon. Friend is aware, certain inquiries have been held, and I understand that reports will shortly be made to the Development Commissioners.
