HC Deb 20 February 1871 vol 204 c494
DR. LYON PLAYFAIR

said, he wished to ask the Lord Advocate, Whether, considering the delay which has taken place in the delivery of the Scotch Education Bill, he still intends to take the Second Reading on this day week? He would also beg to ask when the Bill would be delivered?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

, in reply, said, he believed the Bill would be delivered that afternoon and circulated tomorrow. He feared it might not be in his power to take the second reading on the day mentioned; but, if it was, he should not willingly lose that opportunity.
