HC Deb 26 May 1909 vol 5 c1198
Mr. C. E. PRICE

May I ask the hon. Gentleman whether the Edinburgh Distress Committee have been able to settle their difference with the Scottish Local Government Board?

Mr. URE

There was never any difference between the Scottish Local Government Board and the Distress Committee relative to the allocation of the grant for the relief of the unemployed.

Mr. PRICE

Then do I understand that the Edinburgh Distress Committee received the grants for which they applied?

Mr. URE

No, Sir, the Distress Committee did not receive all the money for which they made application, but that was not due to the action of the Scottish Local Government Board.
