§ 71. Mr. MacKENZIE LIVINGSTONEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether he has now solved the problem of Lochboisdale pier; and, if not, what steps he has taken, or is taking, to protect this island community from distress and damage pending a settlement of a dispute over which they have no control?
The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Adamson)The reply to the first part of the question is in the negative. With regard to the remainder of the 628 question, I am unable to say more at the moment than that efforts to arrange with the proprietrix to keep part of the pier open have so far been unsuccessful and that the question of its future maintenance is having my close consideration.
