HC Deb 06 November 1906 vol 164 cc337-8
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will again consider the expediency of laying upon the Table of the House the Memorandum by Dr. Dittmar, the Local Government Board's Medical Inspector, entitled "Statistical Data presented by the Lews for ten years to 1904," especially having regard to its importance in connection with the Report on Physical Deterioration and the increase of phthisis in the Island of Lewis.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR, Forfarshire)

I can add nothing to the Answer recently given to my hon. friend, which was in the negative. As I have already informed my hon. friend, the Memorandum which he desires to have printed does not add materially to the information already published, which is receiving the earnest attention of the Government.

MR. WEIR

Will the right hon. Gentleman have it published if I pay the cost?

MR. SINCLAIR

I should like notice of that Question.
