§ Mr. LIVINGSTONEasked the Secretary to road construction in the new smallholding settlement of Dalemore, Barvas, Island of Lewis, he had further investigated the position; whether he can now state the conditions upon which the Board of Agriculture's offer of assistance is still open to the landholders; and, in view of the fact that a Grant-in-Aid has been sanctioned for a similar purpose in the new settlement of Reef, what action he has taken or proposes to take for the provision of access roads at Dalemore?
Mr. ADAMSONThe Dalemore holdings were formed alongside an existing road which leads to the main public road, and the Board constructed a bridge on the road. No further assistance has been offered, and it is not considered that any further expenditure of public funds is required in this instance.
