§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, whether during the Parliamentary Recess the eviction of small tenants in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland whose leases have expired since the passing of the Crofters (Scotland) Act of 1886 will be aided by the forces of the Crown, pending any legislation which Her Majesty's Government may introduce on the subject?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.I have no reason to believe that evictions will take place, nor can I answer any hypothetical question as to the method by which the law is to be put in force.
