HC Deb 29 April 1897 vol 48 c1247
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is now in a position to state when the Bill dealing with the grant in aid of congested districts in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland will be introduced?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I cannot at present give the hon. Member any precise information on the subject.

MR. WEIR

Is there any hope of that Bill being introduced this Session?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

Yes; I hope so.
