§ MR. M'LARENasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he is prepared during the present Session to place the Medical Relief Grants for Poor Law purposes in Scotland on the same footing as in England?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, it was impossible to treat the question of the medical relief grants for Poor Law purposes in Scotland by itself. It must be treated in connection with other questions; and it would be dealt with under a Bill, of the introduction of which Notice had been given by the Lord Advocate, for the amendment of the law relating to the relief of the poor in Scotland.
