§ MR. MACGREGOR (Inverness-shire)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the fact that the fishermen from the Isle of Skye and other parts of the West Coast must soon leave their homes for the Spring fishing, he will arrange that the Royal Commission on Land should begin its labours at an early date so as to enable these men to give the necessary evidence before the Commission?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANThe Royal Commission expect to begin their inquiry about the end of this month or the beginning of April. It must be left to them to arrange the order of their proceedings, so as best to attain their object; but I shall be happy to call the notice of the Chairman to the suggestion of the hon. Member. I believe the Commission will meet this week in Edinburgh.
§ MR. WEIRWill the right hon. Gentleman also suggest to the Royal Commission on Deer Forests to visit the island of Lewis at an early date?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANThe gentlemen who compose that Commission will no doubt arrange their order of procedure.
