HC Deb 13 May 1952 vol 500 c1104
35. Mr. Carmichael

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will indicate the average cost of a National Health Service prescription in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Largs and Ardrossan in each of the years since the National Health Service commenced.

Commander Galbraith

As the reply is in tabular form, I shall, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Carmichael

Could the Minister give us some indication of the figures associated with the places I have mentioned? I should like to know, in some form or another, what is the cost for Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ardrossan and Largs. Surely I can be given some figures without having to wait until tomorrow?

Commander Galbraith

I had hoped that it would be for the convenience of the House to have these figures circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT. The approximate figures are as follows: enthusiastic support for the abolition of the wholly undemocratic offices of Glasgow's Dean of Guild and Deacon Convenor?
