Electricity Supply Scheme (North Uist)

HC Deb 03 March 1966 vol 725 cc362-3W

Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when work on the electricity supply scheme for the Isle of North Uist is to begin this year.

Mr. Ross

This is a matter for the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board to decide, but I understand that the preliminary work for the connection of North Uist is already well in hand and that constructional work is expected to start early next year.
