§ Mr. McGOVERNasked the Secretary of State for Scotland tbe number of unemployed persons who applied to the public assistance committees for rents grants during 1932, and the total amount paid?
§ Sir G. COLLINS:So far as I know, special 'arrangements for the payment of rents grants have been made only in Glasgow. I regret that separate figures showing the number of unemployed persons who applied for grants are not available. The total number of applications, however, during 1932 was 8,009, and 5,238 grants, amounting to £8,077 12s. 5d., were made during the same period.
