§ MR. T. C. H. HEDDERWICK (Wick Burghs)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when he proposes to introduce a Measure dealing with the subject of Private Bill legislation in Scotland?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYAs perhaps the hon. Gentleman is aware, the Secretary for Scotland is now Introducing the Bill in the House of Lords.
§ MR. HEDDERWICKasked if the right hon. Gentleman would undertake that the Bill should be introduced in this House in time to enable it to have a fair chance of passing into law before the end of the Session?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThat would depend upon the general course of public business, with regard to which I cannot make a statement at present.
