HC Deb 03 June 1907 vol 175 c315
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, in view of the fact that children residing in the neighbourhood of Strathcarron railway station, Ross-shire, are unable to attend the Camatt public school except by crossing the Achintee river by means of the railway bridge, a practice which has been forbidden by the railway company as dangerous, will he state what steps have been taken to secure the construction of a footbridge over the Achintee river.

MR. SINCLAIR

I am not aware that the county council have taken any steps in the matter, which lies with them.

MR. WEIR

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the lives of scores of scholars are being endangered when the river is in spate?

MR. SINCLAIR

The hon. Member should make representations to the county council.
