HC Deb 12 May 1936 vol 312 cc192-3
28. Mr. MATHERS

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is now in a position to make his promised statement regarding legislation for the purpose of reducing maternal mortality in Scotland?

Sir G. COLLINS

I regret that I am unable to-day to add anything to the reply given to the hon. Member's question on Wednesday last.

Mr. MATHERS

If I put a question down next week, will the right hon. Gentleman then be in a position to reply?

Sir G. COLLINS

I hope to be able to make a statement on the subject, at any rate before Whitsuntide.

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

Will my right hon. Friend, in giving that reply, state exactly what was done in this matter by the Socialist Government between 1929 and 1931?
