HC Deb 11 December 1934 vol 296 c183
5. Miss HORSBRUGH

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland which local authorities in Scotland have reiterated their appeals to him during the last six months for further regulations to deal with the growing evil of the drinking of methylated spirits?

Sir G. COLLINS

During the last six months I have received a representation on the subject from a conference of representatives of the burghs of Aberdeen, Clydebank, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Glasgow, Greenock, Inverness, Paisley, Perth and Stirling.

Miss HORSBRUGH

Is my right hon. Friend going to take any action in the matter?

Sir G. COLLINS

I am arranging to receive a deputation on the subject at an early date, and I will wait to hear what is said by that deputation before making a further statement on the subject.
