§ MR. HOZIERI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether, if a majority of the Representatives of Scottish constituencies prove to be in favour of dealing this Session with the question of Private Bill Legislation for Scotland, the Government will introduce and press forward a measure on the subject?
§ Sin G. TREVELYANI gave the right hon. Gentleman an answer on this matter, in which I stated that the Government were prepared to deal with this question if it appeared that t here was such concert of opinion among Scotch Members, especially as to the character and composition of the tribunal, as would make the measure in effect an unopposed Bill.
§ MR. HOZIERMay I ask whether the Government consider the question of Private Bill Legislation for Scotland to be more contentious and less argent than a Suspensory Bill for the Church of Scotland?
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order!
