§ Mr. Malcolm Macmillanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware of the need for two jetties in Bernera, Isle of Harris, in order to assist the local fishermen; and whether, in view of the present lack of any safe or convenient landing places, he will take early action with the county council of Inverness or directly through the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries?
§ Mr. ColvilleI am informed that there are two jetties in Bernera, Isle of Harris, but no application for assistance towards their improvement has been received from the county council concerned. If the council submit proposals to this end the Department of Agriculture will consider the possibility of making a grant in aid of any necessary work.
