HC Deb 04 November 1902 vol 114 c11
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the Secretary for Scotland will grant the Return on the Paper relative to congested districts (Scotland). †

MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

The Secretary for Scotland would not be prepared to grant the Return in the form suggested by the hon. Member, which would offer difficulties in preparation, owing to many of the congested districts not being conterminous with parishes and for other reasons. If the hon. Member will inform me of his object in asking for the Return, I will consider whether it is possible substantially to meet his wishes.

MR. WEIR

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that a precisely similar Return was granted to an Irish Member now in gaol?

MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!
