HC Deb 22 June 1948 vol 452 cc1112-3
24. Mrs. Jean Mann

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that Rothesay Town Council paid £39,797 to a Company supplying the Burgh Gas Department, for goods which have not been delivered, and have accepted £3,000 in settlement of their claim; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Woodburn

I am considering an interim report on this matter by the Auditor of the Rothesay Town Council accounts and I am therefore not in a position to make any statement at present.

Mrs. Mann

Can my right hon. Friend promise that he will make a statement later on if I put a Question on the Order Paper?

Mr. Woodburn

I will consider that.
