HC Deb 13 March 1893 vol 9 c1864
MR. ROBERT WALLACE (Edinburgh, E.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether Government will arrange to secure for Scotch Business its due proportion of the attention of the House during the present Session; whether it will be necessary for that purpose to hold a series of Saturday Sittings; and whether, in that event, the Government will undertake not to restrict Scotch Business exclusively to Saturdays, but will assign to it its proper share in the advantages of normal Parliamentary time?

SIR W. HARCOURT

The Government will do its best to forward Scotch Business, but are not able to give the assurance which the hon. Member desires.

SIR J. FERGUSSON

I wish to ask whether the Government will give due notice of their intention to introduce Saturday Sittings?

SIR 'W. HARCOURT

Most certainly.
