HC Deb 18 February 1930 vol 235 cc1174-5W
Mr. SCOTT

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will prepare and issue as a White Paper a comparative memorandum on the position of local rates in Scotland, similar to and in continuation of Cmd. 1233 (1921)?

Mr. W. ADAMSON

Owing to the pressure of work in connection with the de-rating provisions of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929, I regret that it is not possible at the present time to undertake the task referred to by the hon. Member, but I shall be glad to reconsider the matter when the pressure referred to is over.
