HC Deb 17 March 1910 vol 15 cc647-8W
Mr. WEIR

asked the Lord Advocate, with a view to assist the fishing industry at centres on the western mainland of Ross-shire, will the Congested Districts Board represent to the owners of the "Unicorn" the expediency of running the boat three times a week all the year round between Ullapool and Kyle of Lochalsh, making calls at Badachro, Gairloch, Aultbea, and Scorraig, in preference to the recent running between Badachro and Kyle of Lochalsh only?

Mr. URE:

I understand that the white fishing off the Gairloch coast, for which the running of the "Unicorn" was started by the owners of the vessel, is mainly a spring fishing, and I question if the proposal of my hon. Friend is commercially feasible. The Congested Districts Board will, however, be prepared to consider any evidence on this point which may be submitted to them.
