HC Deb 15 November 1955 vol 546 cc27-8W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is satisfied with the operation so far of the several river pollution boards in view of complaints made to him about the disposal of litter in the Tweed and sheep dip.

Mr. J. Stuart

The boards are operating satisfactorily and I have no reason to suppose that they will not deal adequately with any pollutions in their areas arising from litter or sheep dip. The Tweed Board is at present considering the question of litter in the Tweed, and I have offered the board guidance in the framing of suitable byelaws.
