HC Deb 19 May 1919 vol 116 cc73-4W
Sir L. HARMSWORTH

asked the Secretary for Scotland when ho proposes to place Scottish parochial medical officers on the same basis as English and Irish, parochial medical officers in the matter of superannuation?

Mr. MUNRO

Any action such as proposed in the question would require legislation. I have undertaken to consider the expediency of an inquiry into the general question of the superannuation of local officials in Scotland, and I have been in communication with local authorities' associations on the subject.
