HL Deb 10 April 1883 vol 277 cc1964-5
THE EARL OF MINTO

asked Her Majesty's Ministers, Whether, after they shall have concluded their deliberation on the subject of the re-arrangement of Business connected with Scotland, it is their intention to make a communication to this House, as has been promised, in respect of the other House of Parliament; and whether a Notice of such intention would, be placed on the Notice Paper?

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

, in reply, said, that whenever the Government had decided upon the course to be taken in this matter, they would, of course, desire that their Lordships' House should have the information they had to give with regard to it as well as the other House. He did not think, however, it was a matter on which it was usual to place a Notice on the Paper; but he had no doubt an opportunity would soon be afforded noble Lords for making any observations on the occasion of its being brought forward, and they would then be glad to hear anything that any noble Lord desired to say. A statement on the subject would probably be made on Tuesday next.
