HC Deb 20 June 1899 vol 73 c68
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if the Secretary for Scotland has this year received applications from districts outside the congested area to be defined as congested districts: and will he state the names of any new districts which have now been added to the congested area.

* MR. A. G. MURRAY

I am informed by the Congested Districts Board that they have had no opportunity this year of adding to the congested area. About half a dozen letters of inquiry have been received, but in no case has the information asked for been supplied yet.
