HC Deb 23 June 1959 vol 607 cc127-8W
96. Mr. N. McLean

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that present congestion in Kyleakin Harbour is making difficulties for the fishing industry, especially during the tourist season, owing to the volume of car and coach traffic; and what steps he is taking to improve the facilities at this harbour.

Mr. Maclay

I am aware that Kyleakin fishermen find it difficult at times to get berths for their boats. Consultations are now taking place between Inverness County Council and my Department about a scheme to give them better facili- ties which the Council might put forward for assistance under the Fisheries Act, 1955.
