As the reply contains a number of figures, I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the reply:

Grants were made in respect of seven schemes in the Outer Hebrides during the last four financial years and the payments made were as follows:

£
1931–32………625
1932–33………269
1933–34………1,179
1934–35………1,518
£3,591
In addition grants have been made in respect of works of maintenance and minor improvements of roads in the counties of Inverness and Ross and Cromarty as a whole, but without detailed local inquiries, I am unable to state what portion of these grants relate to works in the Outer Hebrides.
