HC Deb 21 July 1914 vol 65 c250
31. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he is prepared to intro duce legislation on the lines of the memorial sent to him by the Edinburgh distress committee?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The memorial to which my hon. Friend refers raises wide and controversial issues, and I am not prepared to introduce legislation on the subject at present.

Mr. HOGGE

Docs my right hon. Friend propose to get a Report from the Local Government Board?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I do not see how that would help very much.
