HC Deb 22 February 1949 vol 461 cc246-7W
Mr. M. MacMillan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when work is to begin on Lochmaddy pier, in North Uist island; what is the estimated total cost; and what amount is to be borne from the funds of the Department of Agriculture for Scotland.

Mr. Woodburn

The estimated total cost of work on Lochmaddy pier is £20,000 towards which an offer of a grant of £15,000 has been made to the Inverness-shire County Council. I hope that work may commence this year.
