§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that the water of the River Nethy, in the Badenoch district of Inverness-shire, is 947 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 authorities have yet taken any, and, if so, what steps to free the river from pollution?
§ MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYI am not aware that any steps have been taken by the sanitary or other authorities to free the River Nethy from pollution. From recent information received from the County medical officer I am inclined to believe that the allegations as to pollution have been somewhat exaggerated.
