Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that at the bottom of the Dancing Cairn's Quarry, of which he has notice that there is shared jurisdiction and responsibility between two local authorities, namely Aberdeen Town Council and Aberdeenshire County Council, there is a lareg lake of odourous liquid over 100 feet deep, and that this lake, particularly in hot weather, is a public danger by breeding insects and in other ways; and if he will forthwith take emergency measures to deal with these dangers.
§ Mr. MaclayI have no powers to intervene in this matter, but I am informed that Aberdeenshire County Council has invited Aberdeen Corporation and the proprietors of the quarry to discuss with them what action can be taken.
