§ Mr. McGOVERNasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if his attention has been called to the recent decision of the 1297W Glasgow Public Assistance Committee when they asked the Government to amend the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1925, providing that any payment received by an injured worker under that Act be not taken into consideration by authorities in assessing payment of relief, and pressed for an amendment of the War Pensions (Administrative Provisions) Act, 1918, to provide for the exclusion of disability pensions from consideration in assessing public assistance and transitional payments; and if he can make any statement on the matter?
§ Sir A. SINCLAIRI have received copies of the resolutions passed by the Public Assistance Committee of Glasgow-regarding the matters referred to, but I can hold out no hope that legislation will be introduced to achieve the objects in view.
