§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he is aware that the forthcoming Report of the Crofters' Commission, though laid upon the Table on the 26th instant, and not yet issued to Members of this House, has been available to certain, members of the Press for several days; and if he will state the source from, which the Report has been obtained, and when it will be issued to Members?
§ * THE LORD ADVOCATEThe printing of the copies necessary for circulation has taken some time, but I understand will be completed shortly. As the hon. Member is aware, the Report is available to Members in the Library, and its contents are thus communicable to the Press or others.
