MR. CATHCART WASONI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he can state how many appeals to the Local Government Board (Scotland) have been lodged during the last five years by medical officers of poor houses against dismissal by local authorities.
§ MR. SINCLAIRI am informed that there has been no attempt by any Poor House Committee during the last five years to dismiss a medical officer without the consent of the Local Government Board, and that consequently there have been no appeals.
