§ Mr. WILKIEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether he has received any communication from the Dundee Town Council in reference to the Report on Imperial and Local Taxation affecting England and Wales; and is the Departmental Committee to likewise consider the case of
Scotland, which is very much in need of being put upon a satisfactory basis?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI have received numerous communications from town councils and also from the Convention of Royal Burghs, on which Dundee is represented, in reference to the Report referred to in the question. With regard to the proceedings of the Departmental Committee, I would refer my hon. Friend to the replies on the subject given by the Chancellor on the 16th March and subsequent dates. The question of the method of allocation of the additional sums which will be available towards the relief of local taxation in Scotland is at present engaging my attention.
