HC Deb 03 February 1860 vol 156 c507
MR. BAXTER

said, he had to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Government intended to explain the provisions of the Reform Bill for Scotland, and to lay it on the table at the same time with the Bill for England and Wales?

LORD JOHN RUSSELL

Without giving a precise answer to the question, I may state that it is the intention of the Government that the Lord Advocate shall explain the Reform Bill for Scotland on the same day that the Reform Bill for England is brought in.
