§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that an inspector from the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, who recently visited the Island of Lewis, reported that there are a number of insanitary houses in Stornoway; and, seeing that Murray's Court and Pringle's Court consist of houses which are much overcrowded, especially during the fishing season, will the Local Government Board for Scotland take such action as may be necessary to ensure these and other insanitary properties being put in such a condition as will 340 conform with the requirements of the Public Health (Scotland) Act.
§ MR. SINCLAIRI have drawn the attention of the Local Government Board to the Report referred to by the hon. Member and it is now before them.
