§ 81. Mr. Woodburnasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps are being taken to effect a purification of the River Forth; and whether a target date has yet been set by the board to this end.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe Forth River Purification Board has been established and will shortly be functioning. Their first task will be to appoint a river inspector and to make a survey of the rivers in their area, which must necessarily take some time. On the results of this survey the Board will formulate their bye-laws and future policy for the prevention of pollution.
