HC Deb 28 March 1923 vol 162 c552W
Mr. MILLAR

asked the Under-Secretary to the Scottish Board of Health whether the announcement made by him in Edinburgh on Friday last as to a State subsidy to local authorities of £7 per house as contrasted with the £6 subsidy already announced for England represents the fixed policy now adopted by the Government. for Scotland?

Mr. F. C. THOMSON

My hon. and learned Friend is under a misapprehension. My hon. and gallant Friend on the occasion referred to did not announce that the subsidy in Scotland was to be £7 per house. On the contrary, he made it. clear that no decision had been reached upon the subject.
