HC Deb 13 March 1945 vol 409 cc17-8
37. Major Neven-Spence

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will cause a list to be prepared of all the minor works which have been constructed on the Scottish coast by the service departments concerned with a view to ascertain-fishermen after the war, such as piers, slipways, boatbuilding and repairing yards, ice making plant, cold stores and installations for piping oil to boats; and whether he will approach the departments concerned with a view to ascertaining the terms and conditions on which such works will be made available to fishermen.

Mr. Westwood

The disposal of works of the nature referred to in the Question, which are surplus to defence requirements, affects a number of Departments and other interests, but the hon. Member's suggestion is being explored with the Departments concerned. My right hon. Friend will communicate with the hon. Member in due course.
