§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)To ask the Lord Advocate if the Secretary for Scotland will consider the expediency of recommending parish councils throughout the Highland crofting counties, by means of circular or otherwise, to make arrangements such as will admit of parochial medical officers obtaining an annual holiday as in other parts of the United Kingdom.
(Answer.) I am informed that this subject was considered by the Local Government Board in 1900, and that their views are fully stated in their Report for that year at page xxv. The Board do not propose to do more than is there stated.—(Scottish Office.)
