§ MR. HOZIER (Lanark, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the Government propose to deal, this Session, with the question of Private Bill Legislation for Scotland?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANThe Government, having regard to the work they have already on hand, do not see a prospect at present of dealing with Private Bill Legislation for Scotland. If there proves to be a very general concert of opinion among Scottish Members, which would enable a Bill on the question to be virtually an unopposed measure, the Government would be glad to favourably consider the matter.
