HC Deb 29 April 1931 vol 251 c1621
36. Mr. MACPHERSON

asked the Minister of Transport when it is proposed to begin the construction of the bridge over Dornie ferry; and what has been the cause of the delay in beginning operations?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I am unable to state when the Ross and Cromarty County Council are likely to commence the construction of the proposed bridged over Dornie Ferry. I understand that the county council are endeavouring to obtain a firm estimate of the full cost of the scheme, including compensation, and that until this estimate has been obtained, no decision to proceed with the scheme will be taken by them. I am writing to the right hon. Member more fully in the matter.
