§ MR. RENSHAW (Renfrew, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that the decision of the Crofter Commission in two townships on the MacLeod estates in Skye were issued to the Sheriff Clerk at Portree on 4th August, 1893, but remained uncommunicated to the public or to the parties concerned till 17th November; and whether the Crofter Commission is responsible for all delays until their work is finally accomplished by the publication of their decisions?
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN, Glasgow, Bridgeton)I have made inquiry into the subject-matter of the hon. Member's question, but, owing to the delay which has taken place in the Postal Service consequent on the recent gales, I have as yet been unable to obtain a reply from the Crofters' Commission. If the hon. Member will renew his question on an early day next week, I shall reply to it.
