asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he can now state the intentions of the Government with regard to the scheme for deepening the Port Henry Dock and constructing a slipway at Peterhead?

The Development Commissioners have recommended, and the Treasury have sanctioned, a grant of £39,000 for this purpose, to include a sum of £14,000 previously sanctioned for the slipway alone, on condition that the harbour trustees raise an equivalent amount from other sources.
