§ MR. LODERI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland when the Fourth Report of the Commissioners on Crofter Colonisation in Canada will be presented; and whether it is intended to ask Parliament to vote a further sum to carry on the experiments tried in 1888 and 1889?
§ THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Sir G. TREVELYAN,) Glasgow, BridgetonThe Fourth Report of the Colonisation Board is now ready; but I regret to say that, as some of the members of the Board to whom it has been sent for approval and signature are out of the country, I shall not be able to lay it on the Table of the House until November. The Government do not intend to ask for a further Vote if for no other reason than that the former Vote is not yet exhausted. But hon. Members, before they press the Government for more money for State colonisation, will do well to read the Report.
