§ 26. Mr. JOHNSTONasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the long-promised repairs necessary to make the Burnhouse, Carron, Stirlingshire, habitable have not yet been commenced; and whether he can take any steps to expedite matters?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)I understand that the contract for the repairs to be carried out on this house has been placed with a contractor. The work has not yet, however, been commenced owing to the inclement weather making it impracticable to transport the material to this out-of-the-way site.
