§ Lord Melchettasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will confirm the report in the Glasgow Herald of 19 November 1982 that the Highlands and Islands Development Board is asking the Government to approve expenditure of approximately £650,000 to complete the construction of the Cairngorm Chairlift Company's day lodge, because the company is unable itself to provide the finance.
§ The Minister of State, Scottish Office (The Earl of Mansfield)My department is considering a proposal by the Highlands and Islands Development Board that the board should acquire the day lodge on Cairngorm 591WA from the Cairngorm Chairlift Company Limited and complete its construction.
