§ Mr. Malcolm MacMillanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress has been made with the Brevig jetty scheme in the Isle of Lewis; what is the currently estimated cost and the contribution offered by his Department; and when it is estimated that the work will be completed.
§ Mr. RossRoss and Cromarty County Council is promoting a Provisional Order to obtain power to erect a jetty at Breivig towards the cost of which, then estimated at £35,000, the council was offered a 75 per cent. grant in January, 1964.
I cannot say when the Order will be confirmed or a start made on this jetty, but I would expect that the work should not take more than a year to complete thereafter. I understand that the council now estimates that the jetty will cost £39,500.
