HC Deb 22 May 1890 vol 344 c1570
MR. NOLAN (Louth, N.)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if he can state how many poor rate defaulters there were in the combination of Govan, Scotland, on the 20th June, 1889; how many of them subsequently paid their rates; what was the amount due on the said date; and what was the amount ultimately lost to the funds of the combination through defaulters during the year; and also the same particulars with regard to the barony and city parishes of Glasgow respectively?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. P. B. ROBERTSON,) Bute

I have already given the hon. Member this information, as regards the combination of Govan. In the barony parishes the number of defaulters was 12,621, of whom G26 subsequently paid. The amount due was £1,155 2s. 5½d., and the amount ultimately lost was £1,059 13s. 4½d. In the city parish the figures are respectively 8,780, 228, £879 0s. 3d. and £857 7s. 6d.
