*MR. FRASER-MACKINTOSH (Inverness-shire)

I wish to say, with regard to this Vote, that there are large districts in Scotland, especially in the Western Highlands and Islands, which equally require development with Irish districts, and the people there rely that at the proper time the Government will deal with them in the liberal spirit which has characterised their treatment of the Irish.

SIR G. CAMPBELL

I have resigned myself to the inevitable. We cannot resist this Vote, but I wish to endorse the views of my hon. Friend the Member for Inverness-shire, and to point out that if any particular class wishes to wring concessions from the Government its best policy is to start a Plan of Campaign.

Resolution agreed to.

It being after Six of the clock, Mr. Speaker adjourned the House without Question put.

House adjourned at twenty minutes before Seven o'clock.
