HC Deb 12 November 1959 vol 613 c72W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that in May, 1959, the son of parents resident in Aberdeen was a patient in Caldwell House, near Glasgow, while the child of parents resident in Glasgow was a patient in Woodlands, near Aberdeen, and that the parents of both children sought the relevant exchange of children for reasons of economy and convenience in visiting them; and whether such an exchange may now be effected.

Mr. Maclay

I am aware that there is a child in Caldwell House whose parents reside in Aberdeen. He will be admitted to Woodlands House as soon as a suitable vacancy arises. I have no knowledge, however, of any child in Woodlands whose parents live in Glasgow and have been seeking their child's transfer to Caldwell House.
