§ Mr. MACQUISTENasked the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that for a distance of about two miles between the road to Cornaig and the north-east end of Gott Bay, in the island of Tiree, the road is in a condition of danger to both man and beast, being along the sand which the spring tides leave in a state of quicksand, wherein the local doctor's car and the horses and traps of others have sunk; and whether, there being three churches and one school at that end of the parisn as well as considerable other traffic, he will consider getting a proper road made, the crofters in the district all being willing to give the land free of charge for this public purpose?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI am aware that that the road taken by traffic proceeding to and from townships in the north-east of Tiree and the remainder of the island is, for part of the way, along the shore of Gott Bay. The question of constructing a new road is a matter for consideration by the district committee in the first instance.
