§ MR. ORR-EWING (Ayr Burghs)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if there is a reasonable hope that the Government will introduce a Prisons Bill for Scotland during the next or a subsequent Session?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI am very unwilling either to give pledges or raise expectations with 444 regard to a new Session. I am sufficiently anxious to bring this Session to a close without making undue promises with regard to next Session. As a matter of course, the subject will have our consideration.
