HC Deb 24 May 1938 vol 336 cc1014-5
13. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that there is no public convenience in West Wemyss; and will he take steps to urge on the local authorities the necessity of proceeding with such without delay?

Mr. Wedderburn

My right hon. Friend is informed by the county council that they have prepared plans for a convenience at West Wemyss and are looking for a site. The matter is entirely for the local authority.

Mr. Gallacher

In view of the very great inconvenience that is caused in that village, will not the Home Office urge upon the county council the necessity of expediting the building of this convenience?

Mr. Wedderburn

Under the Public Act, the local authority may erect such public conveniences in such situations as they may think fit. The subject is not one that is regarded as suitable for intervention by the central Department. I have no doubt that the hon. Member's question will be taken note of.
