§ MR. CALDWELLI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in 92 view of the opposition to the Congested Districts (Scotland) Bill, he intends to proceed with that measure this session.
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.This Bill is one of those which I stated a few days ago would not be proceeded with if there is any serious opposition. I will make it my business to find out whether that is the case.
§ MR. CALDWELLThere will be considerable opposition. Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Bill confers no public money on Scotland, whereas a similar Bill for Ireland gives £21,000?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIt is not a similar Bill.
