§ SIR ANDREW AGNEWasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he could give any information as to the proceedings of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the management of Roads in Scotland, and when they were likely to publish their report.
SIR GEORGE LEWISsaid, he held in his hand a letter from the Secretary of the Commissioners, in which it was stated that considerable progress had been made in the work—the witnesses from twenty-seven out of the thirty-four counties having already been examined, and there being every reason to believe that the Report would be presented before the close of the present year.
