HC Deb 01 July 1907 vol 177 c369
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will state why the Congested Districts Board, when forming the new township at Aiguish, Island of Lewis, failed to arrange for a water supply, as provided for under Clause 5, Subsection (3), of the Congested Districts (Scotland) Act, 1897; and will he state whether any arrangements have yet been made for a supply of water to the 32 houses of this new township.

MR. SINCLAIR

The Congested Districts Board, in ordering the settling of these tenants, were advised that the water supply was sufficient and came under no obligation to provide a further supply. No further arrangements have yet been made.

MR. WEIR

There never has been any water supply there.
