HC Deb 10 July 1928 vol 219 c2040
26. Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that it is the intention of the local authorities in Glasgow to refuse to sanction further support to the Glasgow Distress Committee and their work at Palacerigg Labour Colony; and if he intends to resume the financial aid given by the Government some years ago?

Major ELLIOT

I am aware that the Corporation of Glasgow have decided not to continue to make advances to the distress committee. As regards the second part of the question, it is not the intention of the Government to resume the financial aid previously given.

Mr. BUCHANAN

Will the hon. and gallant Gentleman see some of the persons interested in this matter?

Major ELLIOT

My right hon. Friend will be glad to receive any representations on the subject which the hon. Member brings.
