§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord-Advocate whether he is aware that, although the population of Scotland is slightly in excess of that of Ireland, there is only one medical inspector provided under the Local Government Board Vote for the whole of Scotland, whilst seven such inspectors are provided for Ireland under the Irish Vote; and, seeing that it is quite impossible for one medical inspector to visit the various districts in Scotland requiring his presence, will the question of appointing additional medical inspectors be considered.
*THE LORD-ADVOCATE (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON,) Glasgow, BridgtonThe facts are as stated in the first part of the hon. Member's Question, but the Secretary for Scotland has no proposals to make at present in the direction suggested.
