§ Mr. WATTasked whether it is proposed to divide the office of medical inspector of factories for the Govan Division of Lanarkshire, at present vacant by the death of the previous holder; and, if so, into what districts the territory will be divided?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. It is proposed to divide the district by adding Govan, which lies south of the river, to the district of the certifying surgeon for South Glasgow, which almost surrounds Govan on its other sides, and by adding the portion which lies north of the 37 river (that is, Partick and part of the civil parish of Renfrew) to the adjoining district of the certifyng surgeon for North-West Glasgow. The change is made in the interests of efficiency and convenience of administration.
