§ MR. J. G. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he is aware of an epidemic of typhus fever in various parts of the Island of Lewis, especially in Carloway; and what steps, if any, have been taken to deal with it, and improve the sanitary condition of the infected districts?
§ *THE LORD ADVOCATE (Sir CHARLES J. PEARSON, Edinburgh and St. Andrews Universities)No information has reached any of the officials concerned as to the alleged epidemic of typhus fever; but inquiry is being made, and if necessity arises steps will at once be taken to deal with it.
