§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether it is a fact that under existing arrangements money expended by Highland Parochial Boards on erecting houses for parochial medical officers has to be repaid in one year; and, if so, whether steps will be taken to allow the payments to be spread over a term of years so as to enable poor districts to provide suitable accommodation for their medical officer?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANThis question only appeared on the Paper this morning. It would be very convenient if hon. Members would, if possible, give 243 three days' notice for Scottish questions, as the Scottish Office in London is not over-manned, and has to communicate with Departments in Edinburgh and with Local Authorities all over Scotland with reference to the matters which hon. Members bring before me.
