§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Lord Advocate whether arrangements can be made for Mr. Millar, the Local Government Board's Inspecting Officer under the Public Health Act, to visit the townships in the parishes of Stornoway, Barvas, Lochs, and Uig, Island of Lewis, for the purpose of reporting as to steps to be taken to improve their sanitary condition.
(Answered by Mr. A. Graham Murray.) Mr. Millar cannot be spared for such a purpose without detriment to his ordinary 128 duties, but if the local authority want expert advice beyond that of their own officers, any representation to that effect from them will receive due consideration.
