HC Deb 18 March 1890 vol 342 c1136
MR, D. CRAWFORD (Lanark, N.E.)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate when the Bill for extending the Corrupt Practices Act to local elections in Scotland, promised at an early day, will be introduced; and whether the Second Reading will be taken before Easter, with the view of sending the Bill to a Grand Committee?

* THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. P. B. ROBERTSON,) Bute

This Bill is in a forward state of preparation, but I am unable at present to name a day for its introduction. I hope, however, to do so before long, but I do not think it probable that the Second Reading will be taken before Easter.
