HC Deb 29 March 1905 vol 143 cc1530-1
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate whether the Secretary for Scotland has yet received a report from the Lewis District Committee relative to the appointment of a medical officer of health for the Long Island; and in the event of effect being given to the suggestion, will arrangements be made for the new officer to be responsible to the Local Government Board direct, and not to the medical officer of health for the county.

*MR. SCOTT DICKSON

The Answer to the first part of the hon. Member's Question is in the negative. With regard to the second part I have nothing to add to the reply given to the hon. Member on March 14th.† † See (4) Debates, exlii., 1384.

MR. WEIR

The right hon. Gentleman has not answered the latter part of my Question.

*MR. SCOTT DICKSON

If the hon. Member will look at the reply given on the 14th he will find I have given all the information I have.
