HC Deb 09 July 1946 vol 425 c59W
119. Sir B. Neven-Spence

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that the fortnightly steamer call at North Ronaldshay, Orkney, which is, in any case, liable to interruption in bad weather, is rendered even more uncertain because of lack of depth of water at the pier and whether he proposes to make a substantial grant towards the cost of lengthening it.

Mr. Westwood

I have received no representations to the effect that the steamer service to North Ronaldshay is rendered uncertain because of lack of depth of water at the pier, nor has the county council made any application to me for a grant in aid of the cost of lengthening the pier.
