HC Deb 18 August 1919 vol 119 cc1972-3W
Mr. MACQUISTEN

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether the passenger steamers on Loch Tay are still not plying, to the great inconvenience of an agricultural district and injury to the national food supply; and whether he will take steps in conjunction with the owner, Lord Breadalbane, to get them going again?

Mr. MUNRO

I am informed that the Caledonian Railway Company has been authorised to give some financial assistance to the Loch Tay Steamboat Company of which Lord Breadalbane is chairman to enable a limited service to be resumed on the loch. The arrangements are not in my hands, but on receipt of any further information I shall communicate with my hon. and learned Friend.
