HC Deb 19 December 1893 vol 19 cc1760-1
DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether, to meet the convenience of Scotch Members, he will fix an early day for the consideration of the Lords Amendments to the Fishery Bill for Scotland?

SIR G. TREVELYAN

The Bill has only just passed its last stage in the House of Lords. After Christmas, when the progress of business is more advanced, a date shall be fixed to meet, as far as possible, the convenience of Scotch Members.

MR. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)

Cannot the right hon. Gentleman, for the convenience of Scotch Members, give us some more definite statement before Christmas?

SIR G. TREVELYAN

It cannot be given now, but I will take care that hon. Members have a full and proper notice.
