§ 71. Mr. GALLACHERasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the amenities of the beach from Buckhaven to West Wemyss, on the Fife coast, are being destroyed by the redd and rubbish which is deposited all along the foreshore from the adjacent pits; and whether he will take steps to put an end to this nuisance?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Lieut.-Colonel Colville)The Department of Health have received no complaints on this subject. I am, however, having inquiry made as to whether any nuisance falling within the Public Health Acts exists, and will communicate with the hon. Member when I have received a report on the matter.
§ Mr. GALLACHERMay I ask the Under-Secretary to spend his holidays on that part of the Fife coast and he will then realise the need for action in this respect?
§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEI have spent many holidays in Fife.
