§ 14. Mr. BUCHANANasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if plans have yet been received and sanctioned by his Department for the building of a new school in Dale Street, South Side, Glasgow; if not, what action is being taken; and if any plans have yet been received for a school clinic in Gorbals?
§ Mr. JOHNSTONPreliminary plans for the now school building to be erected on the Dale Street site were provisionally approved by the Scottish Education Department on 13th March last, and I am informed from Glasgow that tenders for the execution of the work will be invited in the course of a few weeks. With regard to the last part of the question, I understand that the matter of a school clinic in Gorbals is under the consideration of the Glasgow Public Health Department as part of a general scheme.
§ Mr. BUCHANANIs my hen. Friend aware that the Secretary of State and myself received a promise that this clinic would be provided almost at once? Now six months have gone by.
§ Mr. JOHNSTONMy information is that the Public Health Department of the Glasgow Corporation are considering the question of the provision of clinics. I have no further details.
