§ * MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that the superintendent of police for the Island of Lewis fills the combined offices of sanitary inspector, borough-surveyor, and sampling officer under the Food and Drugs Act; and, having regard to the insanitary condition of the Lows, as disclosed in Dr. Dittmar's Report, will care be taken that the appointment of sanitary inspector is not given to anyone whose time is largely occupied in the duties of other offices.
§ MR. SINCLAIRThe facts are as-stated. The precautions suggested by the hon. Member in regard to any new appointment are present to the Local Government Board and will certainly be borne in mind.
