§ SIR ALEXANDER GORDONI should like to ask the Home Secretary, Whether he has abandoned his intention of bringing in the Local Government Board (Scotland) Bill before Easter?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTI should be very glad; but received so little encouragement from the hon. and gallant Gentleman last year. In the absence of the Lord Advocate, I can hardly say whether we can do anything before Easter; but if I am assured that I have my hon. and gallant Friend's support, I shall be very glad.
§ SIR ALEXANDER GORDONI want to see the Bill first.
