§ MR. ESSLEMONT (Aberdeen, E.)When do the Government intend to take the Second Reading of the Local Government (Scotland) Bill? At present it is set down for the 13th of May.
§ *MR. W. H. SMITHI am not able at this moment to say if it will be possible to take it on the 13th; I am afraid that it will not be, but due notice will be given of the day on which it will be taken.
