HC Deb 18 April 1905 vol 145 cc457-8
SIR ANDREW AGNEW (Edinburgh, S.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if special instructions can be given to expedite the printing of the Report of the Royal Commission on the ecclesiastical dispute in Scotland.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I have before answered this, but I may add from information I have been able to gather that the Report of the Elgin Commission will be in the hands of Members on Thursday morning.

MR. BLACK

I beg to ask whether Sir John Cheyne, as Royal Commissioner on questions of interim possession arising between the United Free Church of Scotland and the Free Church of Scotland, has reported; and, if not, whether he will be asked to make an interim Report which will be considered along with the Report of the Elgin Commission.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No, Sir. Sir John Cheyne has made no Report; but I see no objection to requesting him to give some account of the proceedings which he has, at the request of the Government, undertaken.

Forward to
