§ MR. A. C. MORTONI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the Government intend to take the Second Reading of the Fatal Accidents Inquiry (Scotland) Bill shortly, with a view to it being passed this Session?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANThe Lord Advocate, who is in special charge of this Bill, has been watching an opportunity to get a Second Reading, but has been hitherto unable to succeed, in con- 419 sequence of the objection taken to it by Members who are opposed to the Bill.
§ MR. A. C. MORTONWill the right hon. Gentleman give reasonable time for the Second Reading by bringing it on before 12 o'clock?
§ SIR G. TREVELYANAt the present moment the Government is very short of time, and until the Budget Bill is passed will be very short of money.
