§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Secretary for Scotland, in view of the complaints from the inhabitants of Stornoway in regard to the insanitary conditions arising from the dumping of refuse on the Alexandra Embankment, Stornoway, will he state whether the Local Government Board have yet heard from the sanitary authorities on the subject, and what steps are being taken in order to secure an abatement of the nuisance.
(Answered by Mr. Sinclair.) I understand that steps are being taken to abate the nuisance, but as action has been taken by the procurator fiscal and the case is now before the sheriff it is not proper that I should enter into detail.
