§ MR. C. B. RENSHAW () Renfrew, W.I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the latest printed Annual Local Taxation Returns (Scotland) are for 1892–3; and, if so, when the Returns for 1893–4 will be printed: and whether these Returns can be printed and published earlier in each year?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATEThe Returns for 1892–3 are the latest issued; but those for 1893–4 are almost entirely in type and will be issued as soon as possible. I regret the delay which has occurred in publishing these Returns, it has been due to a variety of unavoidable causes, but after the current year it is hoped that the Returns will be issued at an earlier date.
