§ Mr. HARRY HOPEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the request by the inhabitants at Machrie Bay, Arran, for a Grant towards the construction of a pier there and considering that the Fishery Board, twenty years ago, offered to pay three-fourths of the cost if the people raised one-fourth, he will now approve of a Grant being made?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe question of a Grant is one for the Development Commissioners and the Treasury, and I understand that no competent application under the Development Act is at present before these Departments.
