§ Mr. MACLEANasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware of any decision on the part of the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway Company to close the railway from Connell Ferry to Ballachulish and to lift the track; and whether, in view of the inconvenience to this district which such a course would cause, he will make the necessary representations to this company?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI have been asked to reply. I have made some inquiries and am informed by the railway company that their local officials are considering various ideas for reducing the working costs of this section of line, but that no definite conclusion has yet been reached.
