HC Deb 29 June 1948 vol 452 cc197-8W
80. Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has received, in abstract, a copy of the annual accounts for Lamlash and Whiting Bay Piers, under the Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation (No. 1) Act, 1883 and (No. 4) 1897, respectively, for the years 1945, 1946 and 1947; what profit in the operation of the piers is shown for these years; and what interest was obtained on the sums expended.

Mr. Callaghan

The Isle of Arran Piers Confirmation Act, 1938, made the Lamlash, Whiting Bay, Loch Ranza and Brodick Piers one undertaking. Its accounts show a loss in each of the years 1945, 1946 and 1947, and no interest was obtained on capital expenditure.
