HC Deb 21 June 1932 vol 267 c895
5. Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is now the position with regard to the inquiry he has made into the question of the able-bodied poor at Montrose being asked to do test work; and what steps he has taken to stop this practice?

Mr. SKELTON

I am not in a position to add anything to my reply on this subject given to the hon. Member on the 2nd instant. As I then indicated, I am awaiting the decision of the public assistance committee of the county of Angus. If my hon. Friend will put down a question for this day fortnight, I think I shall be able to give him an answer.
