§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether his attention has been called to the circumstance that, owing 1105 to the functions of the Local Government Board not extending to Scotland, the statistics of local government and taxation supplied for England and Ireland are not supplied for Scotland; and, if he will take steps to provide for such Returns?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS,in reply, said, that the hon. Gentleman should remember that the Local Government Board was merely an extension of the old Poor Law Board. If the hon. Member would communicate with the Lord Advocate, he would have no difficulty in obtaining the information he wanted.
