HC Deb 27 February 1893 vol 9 c436
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether, having regard to the prevalence of small-pox in Scotland and the possible visitation of cholera, it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to arrange for the management of the sanitary affairs of Scotland by a responsible Representative Body composed of persons possessing technical knowledge?

SIR G. TREVELYAN

The question of the re-organisation of the Board of Supervision, which is the Health Office of Scotland, is seriously occupying the attention of Government.

MR. WEIR

Is not the Board composed of persons without technical knowledge?

SIR G. TREVELYAN

The constitution of the Board is well known. I repeat, it is occupying the attention of the Scotch Office.
