asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he has considered a communication submitted by the corporation of Glasgow asking the Government to accept financial responsibility for public assistance relief for the able-bodied poor as from 2nd July, 1934; and whether he can state the decision arrived at?

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on the 18th May to a question by one of the hon. Members for Dundee (Mr. Dingle Foot).
