§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that the Lunacy (Scotland) Report for 1896–97 was issued on 9th March, 1897, will he explain why the Report for 1897–98 is not yet in the hands of Members; and can he say when it will be published?
MR. GRAHAM MURRAYThe date mentioned by the honourable Member is not accurate. The Lunacy Report for Scotland was issued, not on the 9th March, 1897, but on the 4th September, 1897. I am informed by the General Board of Lunacy that their Report for 1897–98 will be transmitted to the Secretary for Scotland for presentation to Parliament about the end of July, and that it will probably be circulated about the same time as last year.
