HC Deb 22 July 1924 vol 176 c1109
32. Captain W. BENN

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether the Government has yet decided to make grants to local authorities for the treatment of diseases in respect of which orders are made under the Public Health (Scotland) Amendment Bill?

Mr. ADAMSON

The reply to the question is in the negative.

Captain BENN

Did the right hon. Gentleman not say when discussing the Bill that it was the intention of the Government to give the necessary grant to the local authorities? Will he kindly follow his usual practice and answer this question?
