HC Deb 27 May 1897 vol 49 c1425
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that the water of the River Nethy, in the Bade-noch district of Inverness-shire, is polluted by the discharge into the river of sewage from several lodges and large farms above the village of Causer, will he state whether the sanitary or other authority propose to take steps to free the river from pollution, and, if so, will action be taken before the arrival of the summer visitors at this fashionable resort?

*THE LORD ADVOCATE

The matter referred to by the hon. Member is engaging the serious attention of the various authorities whose duty it is to attend to it, with a view, if possible, of overcoming the difficulties, which undoubtedly exist, in dealing with it.
