§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, seeing that the fishermen's dwellings at Battery Park, Stornoway, are provided with conveniences and a water supply, will he state why the Congested District Board's crofter settlement at Aignish, Island of Lewis, is not provided with either a water supply or conveniences of any description.
§ MR. SINCLAIRThe water supply is under consideration. The Stornoway District Committee was informed in April last that the provision or not of conveniences is for local arrangement with the proprietor and tenants of the houses.
§ MR. SINCLAIRI have said that is a matter for local arrangement.
§ MR. WEIRDo they allow houses to be built without considering the question of a water supply or conveniences
§ MR. SINCLAIRNo, Sir.
§ MR. MORTONWhat are these poor people to do for water while the right hon. Gentleman is considering the question of water supply?
§ MR. SINCLAIRMy hon. friend knows there is no lack of water in the island.
