HC Deb 26 May 1873 vol 216 cc434-5
SIR EDWARD COLEBROOKE

said, he saw several Scotch Bills on the Paper for consideration that night, the first of which was the Law Agents Bill. He desired to know, whether it was intended to proceed with the Bill, and if so, after what hour it would not be taken?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

said, he should certainly bring the Bill on, provided he had an opportunity of doing so; but as Notice had been given of opposition to the Bill, he could not, according to the forms of the House, proceed with it after half-past 12 o'clock.

SIR EDWARD COLEBROOKE

When will the Conveyancing Bill be taken?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

That will stand on the Paper for to-morrow.

MR. CAMERON

Will the Entail Bill be also taken to morrow?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

No; not until after the Whitsuntide holidays.

MR. CAMERON

Can you mention the day it will be taken after Whitsuntide?

THE LORD ADVOCATE

No; I have not yet been able to fix that.

DR. LYON PLAYFAIR

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Council, Whether the Scotch Education Code has been considered and passed by the Scotch Department, and if so, when it will be in the hands of Members?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

The Code has been passed by the Department, and laid upon the Table a few days ago. I have ordered certain copies to be printed for the use of hon. Members, and I hope these will be ready for them some time in the course of to-morrow.
