HC Deb 15 October 1946 vol 427 c760
4. Major McCallum

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the position now in regard to the development of Carradale Harbour, in view of the announcement recently made public that Carradale Pier is to be closed at the end of this month because of its dangerous condition.

Mr. Westwood

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer I gave on this subject yesterday.

Major McCallum

While I apologise for not being in my place yesterday when this answer was given, may I ask the Secretary of State today whether he can do anything to speed up the deliberations of the Development Commissioners, to which he referred yesterday, because this project has been in hand for months, if not years? No progress seems to be made in the discussions and deliberations, and we should like to see whether something cannot be done.

Mr. Westwood

We must await the result of the application made by the county council, but I shall certainly do all that is possible to help speed up a decision on this particular question.
