HC Deb 09 May 1898 vol 57 c696
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will arranger that the Votes for the Fishery Board for Scotland and the Local Government Board for Scotland shall not be taken until the respective Reports are in the hands of Members; and can he state when these Reports, which are said to be in the hands of the printers, are likely to be issued?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I am informed that the Report of the Local Government Board will be issued shortly, and that Part I. of the Fishery Board's Report will be laid in the course of the week.

MR. WEIR

Will the Reports be in the hands of honourable Members before the Vote is taken?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

I have every reason to believe they will.

MR. WEIR

I want the right honourable Gentleman to arrange that they shall be.
