HC Deb 30 October 1906 vol 163 cc893-4
*MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, having regard to the fact that the last Report of the Local Government Board for Scotland shows that the Board have been furnished with a Memorandum by Dr. Dittmar, Medical Inspector, entitled "Memorandum on Statistical Data presented by the Lews for Ten Years to 1904," will he lay this document upon the Table of the House.

MR. SINCLAIR

As I have already informed my hon. friend, I do not think any useful purpose would be served by presentation to Parliament at the present time of the Report in question.

*MR. WEIR

Is not the right hon. Gentleman aware that phthisis is so prevalent in the Island of Lewis that in the interest of the public the Report should be laid?

MR. SINCLAIR

The Report adds nothing to the information already before Parliament.
