HC Deb 23 June 1959 vol 607 cc126-7W
94. Mr. N. McLean

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware of the increasingly dilapidated state of the pier at Portree; what is the reason for the continued delay in carrying out the necessary improvements; and when work on the new pier will start.

Mr. Maclay

Yes. The County Council's proposals for the reconstruction and improvement of the pier have been approved, subject to final approval of the contract document and it is hoped that work will be started by the autumn.
