HC Deb 05 November 1929 vol 231 c845W
Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the circular or letter was issued from his Department to the parish councils advising them, where they had to borrow, not to exceed 23s. weekly for married couples and 2s. a week per child; if that circular still represents the policy of his Department; and if any action is intended in the near future?

Mr. ADAMSON

The letter referred to, which is dated 13th July, 1926, no longer represents the policy of the Department of Health for Scotland and I have so informed the parish councils concerned.
