§ MR. PIRIE (Aberdeen, N.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will endeavour to take some other than Scottish Supply on Friday, seeing that several Reports dealing with that Estimate are not yet in the hands of Members?
§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)had the following Question on the Paper on 1125 the same subject: I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will arrange not to take the Scotch Votes until the Reports are in the hands of Members?
§ MR. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)also had the following Question on the Paper: I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, as the Reports of the Committee of Council for Education in Scotland, of the Local Government Board for Scotland, and of the Fishery Board for Scotland are not yet issued, he will postpone Scotch Estimates till a later day than Friday the 5th?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYsaid: As the House is aware, the illness of my right honourable Friend the Secretary to the Treasury rather limits my selection of Supply for Fridays. I put down the Scotch Estimates for next Friday as I thought that would be generally convenient, but as I gather that Scotch Members on the whole object to that course. I will not press it on the House.
