§ Mr. D. GRAHAMasked the Secretary for Scotland the sums paid out in relief of persons in each of the parishes in the middle ward of Lanark in the year 1913–14, compared with payments made for the same purpose in each of the years 1922–23, 1923,24 and 1924–25?
§ Sir J. GILMOURAs the answer involves a long tabular statement, I propose, with the hon. Member's permission, to forward a copy to him.
§ Mr. WELSHasked the Secretary for Scotland the number of persons at present in receipt of relief in each of the various parishes of the middle ward of Lanarkshire who were at any time, since the termination of the Great War, drawing pension or treatment allowances from the Ministry of Pensions?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe information desired is not shown in the parish council records. To obtain the figures asked for it would be necessary to call for a special return, the compilation of which would involve an inquiry into the past history of the persons at present in receipt of relief. It is doubtful whether the value of this return would be commensurate with the labour and expense involved.
