HC Deb 16 July 1913 vol 55 cc1266-7W
Dr. CHAPPLE

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether it is proposed to introduce a special Local Government (Adjustments) Bill for Scotland; and, if not, can he explain why the Bill introduced by the President of the Local Government Board applies only to England?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative, at least for the present; as to the second part, there are differences between the English and Scottish cases, as appeared in the inquiry before the Joint Select Committee.
