§ Miss Harvie Andersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is satisfied that the authority responsible has exercised sufficient control of the fire and public health hazard arising from the use of Quarry Wood Plean as a waste paper dump; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RossThis ground is privately owned, but the local authority has a duty to intervene if satisfied of the existence of a statutory nuisance. I have received no previous complaint, but I am now making inquiries.
