HC Deb 27 July 1888 vol 329 cc662-3
MR. MENZIES (Perthshire, E.)

asked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether he is in a position to state the names of the places in Scotland where the Royal Commission on Market Rights and Tolls intend to hold inquiries; whether he can give any information as to the time when those inquiries are likely to be held; and, whether the Commissioners will go themselves, or send Assistant Commissioners, to such places?

THE PRESIDENT (Mr. RITCHIE) (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)

The Commissioners have decided to hold public inquiries into the management of certain markets in Scotland, where abuses are alleged to exist or complaints are made, with reference to the levying of tolls or dues. The date of the contemplated visit of the Commissioners has not been fixed. It is not the proposal that the whole of the Commissioners but a quorum should visit Scotland.
