9. Mr. J. J. DAVIDSONasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total amount of Poor Law relief paid in Leith for the years 1933 and 1935, respectively?
§ Mr. ELLIOTLeith is part of the city of Edinburgh and as separate accounts of expenditure in the Leith area are not kept by the local authority I regret that the information asked for is not avail able.
Mr. DAVIDSONIn view of the answer he has given, does not the Minister consider it desirable that Leith should have separate figures, if only because of the fact that Leith has a Member of Parliament?
§ Mr. ELLIOTIt would be very difficult to keep separate accounts for every part of every city that sends a Member to Parliament.
