§ MR. ESSLEMONT (Aberdeen, E.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to bring in a Bill this Session to make provision for conferring on Scotland the same powers which are in operation in England and Ireland in regard to allotments?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe conditions in Scotland differ very much from those in England, and there is not the same desire or necessity in Scotland for a Bill of this kind; but, at the same time, the Government are perfectly ready to extend these powers to Scotland, if there is any wish for them.
