§ Mr. MACQUISTENasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is 904W aware that the jetty, or landing place, at Strontian is in so dangerous a condition that the steamers refuse to discharge cargo thereon and no ferrymen will land goods thereat; and will he take steps to accelerate the erection of the necessary pier?
Mr. W. ADAMSONI am aware that the jetty is in a bad condition, and that improved facilities for landing goods are required. I have no information that the steamers have refused to discharge cargo, but, in view of a recent representation as to the possible discontinuance of the ferry, I have instructed the Department of Agriculture to submit proposals for remedying the situation.
