HC Deb 08 July 1936 vol 314 cc1206-7
79. Mr. LYONS

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he can now give further information as to the financial position of the Province of Alberta; and whether any additional financial benefits have been issued by the present provincial Government?

Marquess of HARTINGTON

As regards the first part of the question, the text of the Provincial Treasurer's statement of 27th May has now been received, and I am sending a copy to my hon. and learned Friend. So far as I am aware, the answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.

Mr. LYONS

Has the Noble Lord any report of the attempted raid made the day before yesterday upon the Government buildings in the capital of Alberta by those people who are dissatisfied with the policy of the Social Credit Government, and can he make any statement about the failure of that Government to meet its obligations?

Mr. THORNE

Is this one of the towns where they have tried to put the social credit policy into operation, and have failed?
