The Chairman:

Captain Elliot, replying on the debate, said that as a matter of fact the infantile mortality in Scotland was lower now than in pre-war years. It was not in- creased by the transference of the relief to mothers and children from the infant welfare centres to the relief centres, but fell considerably after that administra- tife action was taken.

The amendment was negatived by votes to 118-Government majority 01- and the vote was agreed to
