§ 37. Major McCallumasked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that notices have been published to the effect that Carradale Pier is to be closed at the end of this month because of its dangerous condition; what action he proposes to take to ensure to the people of 105W Carradale safe disembarkation for them-selves and their livestock from steamers that should call at the pier; and what action he proposes to take in this regard for the Carradale fishing fleet.
§ Mr. WestwoodI have been asked to reply. The answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. An application for financial assistance towards the construction of a harbour at Carradale has been submitted to the Treasury by the county council and referred to the Development Commissioners, by whom I understand it is to be considered at a meeting in the immediate future.
