HARBOUR IMPROVEMENTS, PETERHEAD.

HC Deb 18 March 1930 vol 236 c1894

53. Mr. BOOTHBY

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he can now state the intentions of the Government with regard to the scheme for deepening the Port Henry Dock and constructing a slipway at Peterhead?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Pethick-Lawrence)

The Development Commissioners have recommended, and the Treasury have sanctioned, a grant of £39,000 for this purpose, to include a sum of £14,000 previously sanctioned for the slipway alone, on condition that the harbour trustees raise an equivalent amount from other sources.
