§ 4. Mr. MACPHERSONasked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the fact that a larger boat than was contemplated when the Government gave a Grant for the erection of Badentarbet Pier has now to get access to that pier and that for this reason as well for its state of disrepair it is now useless, he will urge upon the Board of Agriculture to give a Grant to pay for part of the cost of properly repairing the pier if the county council also bears a share of the cost?
§ Mr. GULLANDMy right hon. Friend has requested me to read his reply as follows: I would refer my hon. Friend to the detailed answer which I gave him on this subject on 14th February. Until the county council indicate their willingness to recognise their statutory liabilities, I shall not be in a position to consider the suggestion of my hon. Friend.
