§ MR. BLACK (Banffshire)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate when he proposes to take the Second Readings of the Scotch Licensing Bill and the Consolidation Bill.
§ THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY,) ButeshireThe arrangements as to public business are such as to preclude the possibility of the Second Reading being taken next week, but I am hopeful that it may be taken on an early day of the week following.
