HC Deb 24 June 1907 vol 176 c900
* SIR F. CHANNING

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he has now obtained a Report from the Scottish Local Government Board as to the working of compulsory notification of phthisis in certain towns in Scotland; and, if not, whether he will obtain such detailed Report and lay it before Parliament.

MR. JOHN BURNS

I am not aware that the Scottish Local Government Board have made any Report on the working of the compulsory notification of phthisis in certain towns in Scotland. The question whether any such Report should be made and laid before Parliament is hardly a matter for me. It appears to be one for my right hon. friend the Secretary for Scotland.

* SIR F. CHANNING

Having regard to my right hon. friend's replies to previous Questions, will he obtain the opinion of the Scottish Local Government Board?

MR. JOHN BURNS

Certainly.
