HC Deb 22 May 1969 vol 784 cc128-9W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will call for a report from the Chief Constable of Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary about the conditions prevailing at premises at Gretna, the name of which has been sent to him.

Mr. Ross

I have already received a report from the Chief Constable about these premises and have conveyed the substance of it to my hon. Friend. The Chief Constable is satisfied that there are no grounds for police action.

Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why he wrote to the county council about the standard of hygiene and sanitation at certain premises at Gretna; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

As I informed my hon. Friend in my recent letter, these matters have been brought to the attention of the county council by the chief constable.
