§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord-Advocate whether he is aware that, as there is no footbridge or other means of crossing the Achintee River, children from 413 Strathcarron who attend the Attadale Public School have to walk along the railway line for about 400 yards in order to cross the river by the railway bridge; and, as this practice is attended with risk to their lives, especially having regard to the frequent special trains, will he take such steps as may be necessary to secure the construction of a footbridge.
*MR. SCOTT DICKSONThis matter appears to be one which is entirely within the powers of the parish council as defined by the Local Government (Scotland) Act of 1894, and the Secretary for Scotland is not able to take steps in the direction contemplated by the hon. Member.
