HC Deb 27 May 1878 vol 240 cc739-40
MR. LYON PLAYFAIR

asked the Lord Advocate, Whether he proposes to introduce a Bill to carry out the recommendations of the University Commissioners to lessen the present excessive expenditure of electing Members of Parliament for the Scottish Universities?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS,

in reply, said, that he was afraid that at that period of the Session the press of Business would absolutely prevent the Government from taking up the question.
