HC Deb 21 July 1903 vol 125 cc1316-7
MR. EUGENE WASON (Clackmannan and Kinross)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he will instruct the Local Government (Scotland) Board, which is at present inquiring into the pollution of the River Ore in Fifeshire, which gave rise to an epidemic of typhoid in that district, to make inquiry into the pollution of the Black Devon, which is the main source of water supply for the county of Clackmannan.

*MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

The suggestion of the hon. Member that inquiry should be made into the condition of the Black Devon will receive the careful consideration of the Secretary for Scotland.

MR. EUGENE WASON

Were not representations made before the typhoid broke out?

[No answer was returned.]
