HC Deb 28 July 1887 vol 318 cc484-5

Order read, for resuming Adjourned; Debate on Question [26th July], "That this House doth not insist on the Amendment to which the Lords have disagreed."

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved, That this House doth not insist on the Amendment to which the Lords have disagreed.

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. H. A. MACDONALD) (Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities)

proposed an addition to clause empowering the Crofters Commission to deal with, and, if necessary, reduce claims on bills and promissory notes given in respect of arrears of rent.

MR. J. B. BALFOUR (Clackmannan, & c.)

This clause, as proposed, will substantially accomplish the object I had in view, and I do not, therefore, propose to press my objection any further.

Consequential Amendment made to Bill.
