HC Deb 13 March 1876 vol 227 c1864
MR. KINNAIRD

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, having regard to the very general feeling of the House as manifested on the occasion of the late debate and division on the Game Laws (Scotland) Bill, the Government will bring in a Bill to effect a settlement of the question?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

, in reply, said, that it was not the intention of the Government to introduce any Bill on the subject. The House had assented to the second reading of the Bill brought in by the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. M'Lagan), and that Bill now stood for discussion in Committee on some distant day. If the hon. Member would put himself in communication with the Government, some satisfactory solution of the question might perhaps be arrived at.
